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 84-, 91-, and 113-kDa proteins of the ISGF-3 alpha complex are phosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) treatment and subsequently translocate to the nucleus together with a 48-kDa subunit. In this study, we investigated the presence and the functional status of ISGF-3 alpha subunits and Tyk-2 and JAK1 tyrosine kinases in mutant HeLa cells defective in the IFN-alpha/beta and -gamma response. Stable cell fusion analysis revealed a single complementation group among one class (class B) of mutants. The class B mutants contain detectable level of mRNA and proteins of the 84-, 91-, and 113-kDa proteins, but neither the protein nor mRNA is inducible by IFN-alpha or -gamma. The 91-kDa protein IFN-gamma-activated factor fails to be activated into a DNA-binding state after IFN-alpha or -gamma treatment. In addition, the 91-kDa protein is unable to localize in the nucleus after IFN-alpha and -gamma treatment, and the 113-kDa protein fails to translocate after IFN-alpha treatment. Immunoprecipitation studies document a failure of phosphorylation of the 84- or 91-kDa proteins after IFN-alpha or -gamma treatment. Similarly, no tyrosine-phosphorylated 113-kDa protein was detected after IFN-alpha treatment. The inability of class B mutants to phosphorylate the 84-, 91-, or 113-kDa protein on tyrosine residues correlated with the loss of biological response to IFN-alpha and -gamma. The genetic defect appears to be the absence of the tyrosine kinase JAK1. Our data therefore confirm a recent report that JAK1 plays a critical early signaling role for both IFN-alpha/beta and IFN-gamma systems.
