Promoter haplotypes of the interleukin-10 gene influence proliferation of peripheral blood cells in response to helminth antigen.

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.
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
Since interleukin (IL)-10 is a key mediator of immunosuppression, and immunosuppression is considered an important element of helminth infection, we studied variants of the putative IL-10 gene promoter in 337 individuals from 130 families heavily exposed to infection by the tissue nematode Onchocerca volvulus. As shown by transmission disequilibrium tests, variants of the IL-10 promoter at positions -1082(G/A), -819(C/T), and -592(C/A) in the haplotype of ATA were significantly associated with high peripheral blood cell (PBC) proliferative responses to O. volvulus antigen (OvAg). No associations were observed using phytohemagglutinin-induced PBC proliferation or with qualitative or quantitative phenotypes of onchocerciasis or onchocerciasis-related skin disease. The findings are compatible with the hypothesis that the ATA haplotype causes a decrease in IL-10 production by OvAg-reactive type-1 regulatory T-lymphocytes, thereby alleviating the suppression of other T cells. To our knowledge, this is the first time that an influence of IL-10 promoter variants is shown on the adaptive immune response.
