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

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is essential for the survival of memory CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cell subsets, and natural killer and natural killer T cells. Here, we describe a hitherto unreported role of IL-15 in regulating homoeostasis of naive CD4(+) T cells. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice results in increased homeostatic expansion of T cells in lymphopenic NOD.scid.Il15(-/-) mice when compared to NOD.scid recipients. The increased accumulation of CD4(+) T cells is also observed in NOD.Il15(-/-) mice, indicating that IL-15-dependent regulation also occurs in the absence of lymphopenia. NOD.scid mice lacking the IL-15Rα chain, but not those lacking the common gamma chain, also show increased accumulation of CD4(+) T cells. These findings indicate that the IL-15-mediated regulation occurs directly on CD4(+) T cells and requires trans-presentation of IL-15. CD4(+) T cells expanding in the absence of IL-15 signaling do not acquire the characteristics of classical regulatory T cells. Rather, CD4(+) T cells expanding in the absence of IL-15 show impaired antigen-induced activation and IFN-γ production. Based on these findings, we propose that the IL-15-dependent regulation of the naive CD4(+) T-cell compartment may represent an additional layer of control to thwart potentially autoreactive cells that escape central tolerance, while permitting the expansion of memory T cells.
