Functional role of IL-2 receptors on tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes.
Article in British journal of cancer, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study was undertaken to investigate the pathways involved in the interleukin 2 (IL-2)-driven growth of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). For this purpose, TIL lines and freshly isolated TILs obtained from 16 patients with solid cancer (three melanoma, seven primary colorectal carcinoma, four hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer and two lung cancer) were evaluated for (a) expression of IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) both at the RNA level and on the cell surface by flow cytometric analysis and (b) their proliferative activity in response to IL-2 and the role of IL-2R subunits in the IL-2-driven TIL growth. Northern blot analysis showed that TILs express a strong message for both the p55 and the p75 IL-2R. Accordingly, flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that TILs bear both IL-2R chains. TILs cultured in vitro in the presence of rIL-2 were able to proliferate in response to different concentrations of this cytokine. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specifically recognising the p55 and p75 IL-2R chains (anti-Tac and TU27 respectively) exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on IL-2-driven growth when added individually or in appropriate combinations. Our results demonstrated that TILs are equipped with a fully functional IL-2 receptor system, thus suggesting the involvement of this structure in the activation and expansion of TILs following immunotherapy with IL-2.
