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

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) shares structural and functional properties with members of the hematopoietic cytokine family. It is composed of a four-helix bundle structure and shares the transmembrane signal transducing proteins, glycoprotein-130 (gp130) and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIF-R). Structure-function analysis showed that the gp130-interactive proteins bind in a similar manner to that of growth hormone (site I and II). In addition, gp130-interactive proteins and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) utilize another binding site (site III) at the boundary between CD loop and helix D. CNTF triggers the association of receptor components, resulting in activation of a signal transduction cascade mediated by specific intracellular protein tyrosine kinases. The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways have been characterized in terms of gp130-interactive protein, and there should be other pathways and some crosstalk between them to enhance, prolong, or specify the signals.
