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

There are at least two interleukin 2 (IL-2) binding peptides: one is the Mr 55,000 peptide (p55) reactive with the anti-Tac monoclonal antibody, and the other is a Mr 75,000 non-Tac IL-2 binding peptide (p75). Independently existing Tac or p75 peptides represent low-affinity IL-2 receptors, whereas high-affinity IL-2 receptors are expressed when both peptides are present and associated in a receptor complex. It has long been known that normal large granular lymphocytes (LGL) or leukemic cells from the patients with abnormal expansions of LGL can be activated by IL-2 not only to more-potent natural killer cells but also to effectors of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity, although they do not express the Tac peptide. In the present study, using cross-linking methodology, we found that normal LGL and leukemic LGL from all individuals tested expressed the p75 IL-2 binding peptide but did not express the Tac peptide. These LGL leukemia cells made proliferative responses to IL-2 but required a much higher concentration than that required for the proliferation of normal phytohemagglutinin-stimulated T lymphoblasts that express high-affinity receptors. Furthermore, the addition of IL-2 to Tac-negative LGL leukemic cells augmented transcription of the Tac gene and induced the Tac peptide. Neither the IL-2-induced proliferation nor the up-regulation of Tac gene expression was inhibited by the addition of anti-Tac. These results strongly suggest that the p75 peptide is responsible for IL-2-induced activation of LGL and that the p75 peptide alone can mediate an IL-2 signal. Thus, the p75 peptide may play an important role in the IL-2-mediated immune response not only by participating with the Tac peptide in the formation of the high-affinity receptor complex on T cells but also by contributing to the initial triggering of LGL activation so that these cells become efficient natural killer and lymphokine-activated killer cells.
