An ancient evolutionary origin for IL-1 cytokines as mediators of immunity.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Inflammation is a hallmark of immune responses. Its mechanistic underpinnings in mammals are well-defined: pro-inflammatory cytokines of the interleukin 1 (IL-1) superfamily establish and support microenvironments that promote immune cell activities. Despite a growing number of reports on inflammatory processes and components of the IL-1 signaling axis in several invertebrate lineages, orthologs of these central cytokines have not been detected outside of the jawed vertebrates. Here, protein structure prediction algorithms were applied to identify genes encoding a family of IL-1 proteins with homologs throughout Eumetazoa (termed "IL-1anc" to reflect their ancestral evolutionary origin).
