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

Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family 3 (SLAMF3/Ly9) is a coregulatory molecule implicated in T-cell activation and differentiation. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by aberrant T-cell activation and compromised IL-2 production, leading to abnormal regulatory T-cell (Treg) development/function. Here we show that SLAMF3 functions as a costimulator on CD4(+) T cells and influences IL-2 response and T helper cell differentiation. SLAMF3 ligation promotes T-cell responses to IL-2 via up-regulation of CD25 in a small mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3)-dependent mechanism. This augments the activation of the IL-2/IL-2R/STAT5 pathway and enhances cell proliferation in response to exogenous IL-2. SLAMF3 costimulation promotes Treg differentiation from naïve CD4(+) T cells. Ligation of SLAMF3 receptors on SLE CD4(+) T cells restores IL-2 responses to levels comparable to those seen in healthy controls and promotes functional Treg generation. Taken together, our results suggest that SLAMF3 acts as potential therapeutic target in SLE patients by augmenting sensitivity to IL-2.
