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

backgroundIL-15 is a promising cytokine for cancer immunotherapy. IL-15 promotes differentiation and homeostasis of innate and adaptive immune cells, and their cytolytic effector functions. The IL-15 receptor is composed of IL-15Rα, IL-15Rβ and the common γ

methodsIn WT,

resultsLack of IL-15 or IL-15Rα did not enhance the growth of implanted tumor cell lines, despite reduced immune cell infiltration. MCA-induced tumor incidence was reduced in mice lacking IL-15Rα but not IL-15, although both are required for efficient tumor immunoediting.

conclusionsOur findings show that IL-15 plays a negligible role in immunosurveillance against spontaneous tumor development, whereas IL-15Rα restrains immunosurveillance. Neither IL-15 nor IL-15Rα have a significant impact on implanted tumor models, although IL-15 facilitates efficient control of highly immunogenic tumors for which IL-15Rα is dispensable.
