Cytokine Autoantibodies Alter Gene Expression Profiles of Healthy Donors.
Article in European journal of immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Autoantibodies against cytokines (c-aAb) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases, and a variety of infections. In addition, several independent studies have detected elevated titers of c-aAb in the circulation of healthy individuals. To further understand their impact on immune responses, we measured c-aAb against IFN-α, IFN-γ, CSF2, IL-1α, IL-6, and IL-10 in the plasma of 1000 healthy individuals of the Milieu Intérieur (MI) cohort. Focusing on donors above a defined positive cut-off we observed significant age effects for c-aAb against IL-1α, but no major environmental or lifestyle associated factors were identified. Using TruCulture stimulation data from the MI cohort, we observed a strong association between induced IL-1α and c-aAb levels after LPS stimulation. For several other stimuli, c-aAb against IL-1α and IL-10 were associated with decreased or increased proinflammatory gene expression, respectively. Finally, TruCulture assays supplemented with plasma containing high-titer c-aAb showed a strong influence of anti-IFN-α and anti-IL-6 c-aAb on both baseline and induced gene expression. In summary, this study shows a widespread prevalence of anti-cytokine autoantibodies in healthy donors with impacts on diverse immune responses, suggesting a significant contribution of c-aAb to interindividual immune heterogeneity.
