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

In this report we analyzed the impact of interleukin-4 (IL-4) on tumor-associated simian virus 40 (SV40) large T-antigen (TAg)-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T cells during rejection of syngeneic SV40 transformed mKSA tumor cells in BALB/c mice. Strikingly, challenge of naïve mice with low doses of mKSA tumor cells revealed a CD8+ T cell-dependent prolonged survival time of naïve IL-4-/- mice. In mice immunized with SV40 TAg we observed in IL-4-/- mice, or in wild type mice treated with neutralizing anti-IL-4 monoclonal antibody, a strongly enhanced TAg-specific cytotoxicity of tumor associated CD8+ T cells. The enhanced cytotoxicity in IL-4-/- mice was accompanied by a significant increase in the fraction of CD8+ tumor associated T-cells expressing the cytotoxic effector molecules granzyme A and B and in granzyme B-specific enzymatic activity. The data suggest that endogenous IL-4 can suppress the generation of CD8+ CTL expressing cytotoxic effector molecules especially when the antigen induces only a very weak CTL response.
