Recombinant Human Interleukin-15 and Anti-PD-L1 Combination Therapy Expands a CXCR3+PD1-/low CD8 T-Cell Subset in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Rhesus Macaques.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe PD1/PD-L1 pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection, and blockade of this pathway may have potential to restore immune function and promote viral control or elimination. In this study, we combined a checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-L1 (Avelumab) and recombinant human interleukin-15 (rhIL-15) in SIV-infected rhesus macaques (RM).
methodsThe rhIL-15 was administered as continuous infusion in 2 cycles of 10 days in the context of weekly administration of anti-PD-L1 (Avelumab) in SIV-infected RM receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Safety, immunological parameters, and viral loads were monitored during the study.
resultsAdministration of rhIL-15/anti-PD-L1 was safe and well tolerated. Treatment resulted in transient increases in proliferating (Ki67+) natural killer and CD8 T cells. In addition, treatment expanded a CXCR3+PD1-/low CD8 T-cell subset with the ability to secrete cytokines. Despite these effects, no changes in plasma viremia were observed after cART interruption.
conclusionsExpansion of the CXCR3+PD1-/low CD8 T-cell subset with functional capacity and potential to traffic to sites of viral reservoirs in SIV-infected rhesus macaques had no demonstrable effect on plasma viremia after cART interruption.
