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 IL-17 receptors (IL-17Rs) play critical roles in immunity and inflammatory diseases. IL-17-induced heteromeric complexes between IL-17RA and another IL-17R trigger signaling by binding the downstream transducer ACT1 through interactions between their intracellular SEF/IL-17R (SEFIR) domains. The molecular mechanism of this process remains unclear. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the complex of IL-17RA, IL-17RB and ACT1, showing that the IL-17RA and IL-17RB SEFIR domains form an asymmetric hetero-tetramer. The two IL-17RA SEFIR domains serve as the base to recruit ACT1, while IL-17RB stabilizes the IL-17RA dimer but makes no interaction with ACT1. IL-17RB, IL-17RA and multiple ACT1 together form a double-stranded helical assembly. The C-terminal SEFIR extension (SEFEX) of IL-17RA acts as a molecular tendril to help anchor the ACT1 protomers. The structural model is supported by our mutational analyses. These findings reveal the basis for the formation for the signalosome of the IL-17 receptors and ACT1 critical for immune signaling.
