IL-2Rα is dispensable for murine B cell development and humoral response.
Article in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2025. 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
The cytokine IL-2 plays a pivotal role in the immune system, specifically in the proliferation of T, B, and NK cells. The alpha subunit of the IL-2 receptor, IL-2Rα (CD25), is known to regulate the expansion and differentiation of T lymphocytes. CD25 is also expressed in developing B cells; however, its B cell intrinsic role remains undefined. We generated a mouse model with a B cell-specific deletion of CD25 to ascertain its role in B cell development and function. Unexpectedly, we found that the loss of CD25 had no impact on B cell development, homeostasis, or immune response to model antigens. Additionally, while CD25 expression was upregulated in activated splenic B cells, its absence did not affect class switch recombination in vitro or in vivo. We conclude that in contrast to its critical role in T cell differentiation and function, and despite its expression in developing and activated B cells, CD25 does not have any significant role in B cell development and adaptive immune functions.
