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

Distinct functional T-cell subsets, differing in the patterns of lymphokines produced, regulate cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. The two major types and their principal products, interleukin 4 and interferon gamma (IL-4 and IFN-gamma), are reciprocally negatively interactive. To analyze the molecular mechanism of IL-4-mediated suppression of cell-mediated immunity we studied its effects on expression of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and IFN-gamma. IL-4 pretreatment of Jurkat cells prior to stimulation resulted in a decrease in transcription of the IL2 gene. IL-4 suppressed IL-2 and IFN-gamma mRNA levels in primary human T cells, and addition of anti-CD28 antibodies relieved this suppression. Using enhancer-reporter constructs, IL-4 specifically down-regulated the NFIL-2B element. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using a DNA oligomer containing the NFIL-2B binding site indicated that IL-4 inhibited the NFIL-2B complex and that the NFIL-2B DNA binding factor is distinct from AP-1. These results suggest that IL-4 may regulate development and function of T-cell subsets involved in cell-mediated immunity in part by inhibiting factors required for transcription of the IL2 gene.
