Efficacy and safety of low-dose interleukin 2 for Behçet's syndrome: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 2 clinical trial.
Trial report in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04065672 (Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Interleukin 2 for Behçet's Syndrome), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Behçet's syndrome (BS), a chronic vasculitis, leads to recurrent oral ulcers, severely impacting quality of life. Here we report the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT04065672) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose interleukin-2 (LD-IL-2) in BS patients. 60 participants with active oral ulcers are randomly assigned to receive LD-IL-2 or placebo. The primary endpoint is the oral ulcer count at week 12. The LD-IL-2 group has significantly fewer oral ulcers than the placebo group (0.69 ± 1.05 vs. 1.57 ± 0.90, P = 0.001) with greater improvements in ulcer pain, disease activity, and quality of life. No infections or severe adverse events are observed in either group. LD-IL-2 expands regulatory T (Treg) cells and decreased the ratio of effector T cell to Treg cells. Thus, LD-IL-2 therapy might be an effective and safe treatment in BS patients and is associated with the modulation of CD4 + T cell populations.
