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

Infections with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in humans and in animal models are accompanied by enhanced natural killer (NK) activity. In vitro, HSV-1 also enhances the NK activity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The molecular basis of this enhanced NK activity, however, is not well characterized. We investigated the role of human interleukin-15 (IL-15) in this phenomenon and report here that HSV-1-mediated enhanced NK activity was abrogated by neutralizing antibodies for IL-15 but not for other cytokines (i.e., IL-2, IL-12, gamma interferon [IFN-gamma], tumor necrosis factor alpha, or IFN-alpha). Anti-CD122 antibodies which block signaling through IL-2 receptor beta chain, and therefore neutralize the effects of IL-15 (and IL-2), also abrogated this enhancement. Furthermore, HSV-1 increased the levels of IL-15 mRNA and the production of IL-15 in HSV-1-infected PBMC cultures. The neutralization of IL-15 in cocultures of PBMC with HSV-1-infected cells significantly increased HSV-1 production. These results strongly suggest a role for IL-15 in the HSV-1-mediated in vitro enhancement of NK activity and in the PBMC-mediated suppression of HSV-1 replication.
