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

IL-2 plays a critical role in the induction and maintenance of FoxP3-expressing regulatory T cells (FoxP3(+) Tregs). Reduced expression of IL-2 is linked to T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D), in which an imbalance between FoxP3(+) Tregs and pathogenic T effectors exists. We investigated the contribution of IL-2 to dysregulation of FoxP3(+) Tregs by comparing wildtype NOD mice with animals congenic for a C57BL/6-derived disease-resistant Il2 allele and in which T-cell secretion of IL-2 is increased (NOD.B6Idd3). Although NOD mice exhibited a progressive decline in the frequency of CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs due to an increase in CD62L(lo) FoxP3(+) Tregs, CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs were maintained in the pancreatic lymph nodes and islets of NOD.B6Idd3 mice. Notably, the frequency of proliferating CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs was elevated in the islets of NOD.B6Idd3 versus NOD mice. Increasing levels of IL-2 in vivo also resulted in larger numbers of CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs in NOD mice. These results demonstrate that IL-2 influences the suppressor activity of the FoxP3(+) Tregs pool by regulating the balance between CD62L(lo) and CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs. In NOD mice, reduced IL-2 expression leads to an increase in nonsuppressive CD62L(lo) FoxP3(+) Tregs, which in turn correlates with a pool of CD62L(hi) FoxP3(+) Tregs with limited proliferation.
