1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Suppressor of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS) protein family play a critical role in cytokine signalling and regulation of the JAK/STAT pathway with functional consequences to the immune response. Members of this family are implicated in multiple different signalling cascades that drive autoimmune diseases and cancer, through their binding to phosphotyrosine modified proteins as well as ubiquitination activity as part of Cullin5 RING E3 ligases. Here we review the SOCS family members CISH and SOCS1-SOCS7, with a focus on their complex role in immunity. The interactome and signalling network of this protein family is discussed, and the intricate mechanisms through which SOCS proteins alter and manage the immune system are assessed. We offer structural insights into how SOCS proteins engage their interacting partners and native substrates at the protein-protein interaction level. We describe how this knowledge has enabled drug discovery efforts on SOCS proteins to date and propose strategies for therapeutic intervention using small molecules, either via direct inhibition or leveraging their E3 ligase activity for targeted protein degradation.
