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

Enhancement of regulatory T-cell (Treg) function is the goal of many immunotherapies aimed at treating type 1 diabetes (T1D). The use of interleukin (IL)-2 is hindered by its effects on other populations such as effector T cells and NK cells. Combination therapies aimed at suppressing effector T cells while using IL-2 to expand Tregs could be beneficial and have been trialed in T1D patients. We have investigated a combination therapy using IL-2 and αCD11a blocking antibody to simultaneously expand Tregs and suppress the activation and migration of autoreactive T cells. When non-obese diabetic mice were treated with low-dose IL-2/anti-IL-2 complexes (IL-2c) and αCD11a, significant Treg expansion occurred in both the spleen and pancreas. Activation and IFNγ production by islet-specific T cells was robustly suppressed in the periphery following IL-2c/αCD11a treatment. Surprisingly, combination therapy accelerated diabetes onset compared with control treatments. Analysis of IL-2 responsive populations found that combination therapy increased the activation of CD8
