Numerators are found under A120084.
D(2,x) := (2/x^2)*Integral_{0..x} (t^2/(exp(t)-1) dt is the e.g.f. of 2*B(n)/(n+2), n>=0, with the Bernoulli numbers B(n) = A027641(n)/A027642(n). Proof by using the e.g.f. for {k*B(k-1)} (with 0 for k=0) and integrating termwise (allowed for |x| <= r < rho with small enough rho).
See the Abramowitz-Stegun link for the integral and an expansion. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 16 2013

FORMULA
a(n) = denominator(r(n)), with r(n):=[x^n](1 - x/3 + Sum_{k >= 0} B(2*k)/((k+1)*(2*k)!))*x^(2*k), |x|<2*pi. B(2*k)= A000367(k)/A002445(k) (Bernoulli numbers).
a(n) = denominator(2*B(n)/((n+2)*n!)), n >= 0. See the comment on the e.g.f. D(2,x) above. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 16 2013
