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

CD8 and CD4 T-cells grow optimally under different concentrations of the cytokine, interleukin-7 (IL-7). While CD8 T-cells expand at high doses of IL-7, CD4 T-cells favor low doses. To examine the reason for the preference of CD4 T-cells for lower doses of the cytokine, we used IL-7 dependent T-cells to study signal transduction upon a range of IL-7 concentrations. We found that the high dose responsiveness of CD8 T-cells to IL-7 could be altered if these cells also expressed CD4. Using the phosphorylation of STAT5 as an indicator of growth, we found that the co-receptor associated kinase, LCK, contributed to phospho-STAT5 levels. Phospho-STAT5 was elevated at high dose IL-7 for CD8 T-cells and at low dose IL-7 for CD4 T-cells, which was reversed upon LCK inhibition. Examining the direct association of LCK with CD4 using a T- cell line that over-expresses CD4, we determined that CD4 could directly sequester LCK. Non-CD4 T-cells were not restricted in this manner and levels of phospho-STAT5 increased proportionally to the IL-7 dose. Our studies, therefore, show that the response of a T-cell to IL-7 can be modulated by the availability of LCK.
