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

A significant proportion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present with immune imbalances. In this study, we sought to alleviate the core symptoms of autism by addressing immune dysregulation, especially T-cell subpopulation imbalances, in BTBR mice through low-dose IL-2 (LdIL-2) treatment. LdIL-2 (30,000 IU) was administered subcutaneously, and changes in autistic behaviors were observed before and after treatment. Behavioral assessments included the three-chamber test, self-grooming test, sniffing test, marble burying test, open field test and Y-maze test. We also examined alterations in peripheral Th/Treg ratios, cytokine levels, and M1/M2 microglia ratios in the central nervous system via flow cytometry. Neuroinflammatory proteins in cerebrospinal fluid were assessed using proteomic analysis. Furthermore, CD25
