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 high-affinity interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) consists of at least three distinct subunits: the IL-2R alpha chain (IL-2R alpha), beta chain (IL-2R beta), and gamma chain (IL-2R gamma). It has been shown that the cytoplasmic region of IL-2R beta, but not of IL-2R alpha, is essential for IL-2 signalling to the cell interior. In the present study, we examined the functional role of the IL-2R gamma cytoplasmic region in the IL-3-dependent mouse hematopoietic cell line BAF-B03, which expresses the endogenous IL-2R alpha and IL-2R gamma, or its subline F7, which additionally expresses human IL-2R beta cDNA. We show that overexpression of a mutant IL-2R gamma, lacking all but 7 amino acids of its cytoplasmic region, results in the selective inhibition of IL-2-induced c-fos gene activation and cellular proliferation in F7 cells. When two chimeric receptor molecules in which the cytoplasmic regions of IL-2R beta and IL-2R gamma had been swapped with each other (IL-2R beta/gamma and IL-2R gamma/beta) were coexpressed in BAF-B03, the cells responded to IL-2. These results indicate the critical importance of the IL-2-induced functional cooperation of the two cytoplasmic regions. Finally, we provide evidence that the IL-2R gamma cytoplasmic region is also critical for the IL-4 and IL-7-induced growth signal transduction in BAF-B03.
