Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00001908 (T Cell Cytokine Changes During IL-4 Receptor Treatment for Asthma), which is not on this map. Cited by 40 papers.

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.

Abstract

Growth factors have been defined by their ability to promote the proliferative expansion of receptor-bearing cells. For example, antigen-activated T cells expressing the alpha beta gamma form of the interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor will proliferate in response to IL-2. In contrast, resting T cells, which express the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma chains, do not proliferate in response to IL-2. We demonstrate that the survival of resting T cells following gamma irradiation is greatly enhanced by pretreatment with IL-2. The radioprotective effect of IL-2 is dose dependent, does not result from the induction of cell proliferation, and does not require expression of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain. Thus, the beta gamma IL-2 receptor expressed on resting T cells can transduce signals that promote cell survival without committing the T cell to undergo cell division. IL-4 and IL-7, but not IL-1, IL-3, or IL-6, were also found to enhance the survival of quiescent T cells following gamma irradiation. Thus, certain growth factor-receptor interactions can serve to maintain cell viability in a manner that is independent of their ability to initiate or maintain cell proliferation. These data may have important implications for the use of growth factors in patients being treated with radiation and/or chemotherapy.
