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

The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse strain has a genetic deficiency in natural killer (NK) cells. This defect underlies this strain's utility in several experimental settings; in particular, it promotes engraftment of human tissue in NOD hosts during the generation of "humanized" mouse models. We have mapped the major NK-cell defect in the NOD vs. C57BL/6 (B6) strain to an inadequately expressed Il15 allele. Treatment of NOD mice with a reagent that specifically enhances interleukin (IL)-15 bioavailability normalized NK-cell numbers and activity in the absence of nonspecific stimulation. These findings raise the possibility of exploiting reagents that impact the IL-15 receptor pathway to facilitate construction of humanized mouse models on non-NOD genetic backgrounds.
