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

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease in which insulin-producing β-cells are destroyed. Although butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) has been shown to be a negative T cell regulator in vitro, its ability to inhibit T cell responses in vivo has not been determined. In this study, the effect of a recombinant BTNL2-IgG2a Fc (rBTNL2-Ig) fusion protein on T1D development in vivo is determined. It is shown here that in vivo administration of rBTNL2-Ig ameliorates T1D in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. This is associated with the ability of rBTNL2-Ig to inhibit the proliferation, activation, and inflammatory cytokine production from autoreactive T cells in vivo. In addition, rBTNL2-Ig treatment increases the generation of regulatory T cells. The results suggest that targeting the BTNL2 pathway has the potential to be used in the prevention and treatment of patients with T1D.
