Inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and -beta secretion by lymphokine activated killer cells by transforming growth factor-beta.
Article in Japanese journal of cancer research : Gann, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) has a variety of immunosuppressive properties. We investigated the effect of TGF-beta secreted by glioblastoma (T98G) cells on the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and -beta (TNFs) by lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells stimulated with tumor cells. The supernatant from T98G cells was preincubated with anti-TGF-beta 1 and -beta 2 neutralizing antibodies or untreated, and added to a coculture of LAK and Daudi cells. The neutralizing antibodies were added to LAK/Daudi and LAK culture, and natural human TGF-beta 1 and recombinant human TGF-beta 2 were also added to the LAK/Daudi culture. LAK cells were also cultured with T98G cells, of which the supernatant contained both active and latent forms of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2, and the neutralizing antibodies were added to the coculture. TNFs activity in the supernatants from LAK/Daudi cultures was examined by a specific bioassay. Addition of the supernatant from T98G cells to LAK/Daudi culture resulted in the inhibition of TNFs secretion by LAK cells. The inhibition was abrogated by the pretreatment of the supernatants with the anti-TGF-beta antibodies. Addition of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 to LAK/Daudi culture inhibited TNFs secretion by LAK cells in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of anti-TGF-beta antibodies to LAK culture resulted in an increase of TNFs secretion. These results suggest that, if tumor cells have the capacity to convert TGF-beta from a latent to an active form, the active TGF-beta suppresses TNFs secretion by LAK cells stimulated with the tumor cells, and that TGF-beta secreted and activated by glioblastoma cells suppresses the propagation of immune reaction by inhibiting TNFs secretion by activated lymphocytes adjacent to tumor cells.
