Safety and efficacy of canine recombinant IL-15 in mammary gland tumors.

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
This study investigated the safety and therapeutic potential of recombinant canine interleukin-15 (rcIL-15) as an adjunct to surgical excision in dogs with mammary gland tumors (MGTs). Sixty-one client-owned dogs were initially enrolled, and 55 completed the 12-week study. Dogs were assigned to a test group receiving rcIL-15 with surgery or a control group undergoing surgery alone. RcIL-15 was administered intravenously at 20 μg/kg/day for two 4-day cycles, separated by a 10-day rest period. Clinical monitoring included physiological assessments, blood tests, and owner-reported quality of life (QoL) questionnaires. No significant adverse changes were observed in hematological, biochemical, or physiological parameters. RcIL-15 was well tolerated, with only mild and self-limiting gastrointestinal signs and injection site reactions. Dogs in the rcIL-15 group showed significantly improved QoL, particularly in pain, appetite, and activity. Notably, serum C-reactive protein levels decreased over time in the rcIL-15 group, suggesting reduced systemic inflammation. VEGF levels remained stable in the test group but increased in controls, while IFN-
