IL-2K35C-moFA, a Long-Acting Engineered Cytokine with Decreased Interleukin 2 Receptor α Binding, Improved the Cellular Selectivity Profile and Antitumor Efficacy in a Mouse Tumor Model.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Human interleukin 2 (IL-2) has shown impressive results as a therapeutic agent for cancer. However, IL-2-based cancer therapy is limited by strong Treg amplification owing to its high binding affinity to IL-2 receptor α (IL-2Rα) and its short half-life owing to its small molecular size. In this study, we solved these problems using a covalent modification strategy of the IL-2 variant, i.e., substituting cysteine (C) for lysine (K) at position 35, using octadecanedicarboxylic acid through maleimide chemistry, creating IL-2K35C-moFA. IL-2K35C-moFA was equipotent to human IL-2 wild type (IL-2WT) in activating tumor-killing CD8
