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

Janus kinase (JAK) family members, as upstream regulators, phosphorylate not only themselves but also cytokine receptors and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. The JAK-STAT pathway is associated with various cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, cell death, and immune responses. Considering that the JAK-STAT pathway is involved in immunity, dysfunctional JAKs can cause autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, several inhibitors have been developed to inhibit the function of JAKs in the case of abnormal JAK-STAT signaling. Emerging structural data on JAKs highlight the opportunities to design selective inhibitors that can overcome mutation-driven resistance. Therefore, novel JAK inhibitors need to be developed. In this review, we discuss the principal structural features of JAKs, focusing on the active site. In addition, we summarized the updated JAK inhibitors indicated for rheumatoid arthritis that are available in the pharmaceutical market. The binding modes of JAK inhibitors have also been described. Based on the structural analysis of JAKs and their inhibitors, we propose strategies for developing next-generation JAK inhibitors.
