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

To elucidate further the potential of a Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vector in vivo for gene therapy, we constructed a vector, SFV-IL12, to transfer murine IL-12 genes into tumors. A single intratumoral injection of established B16 murine melanoma with SFV-IL12 resulted in a significant inhibition of tumor growth, while injection with SFV-LacZ had no effect. This antitumoral activity correlated with an increase of IFN gamma production, MIG and IP-10 mRNA expression, both at the tumor site and at the periphery. In contrast, no increase in CTL- or NK cell-mediated cytotoxic response could be detected, ruling out the involvement of T and NK cell cytotoxicity. To determine how the transfer to IL-12 genes induced tumor regression, the antiangiogenic-activity of SFV-IL12 was investigated using Doppler ultrasonography (DUS). SFV-IL12 inhibited in situ neovascularization within the tumor, without affecting the resistance index of pre-existing intratumoral blood flows. In addition, histological analysis of SFV-IL12-treated tumors showed massive tumor necrosis induced by SFV-IL12 treatment. These data indicate that SFV-IL12 inhibits tumor growth through its antiangiogenic activity, demonstrated for the first time in vivo by DUS, and suggest that the SFV vector may be a novel valuable tool in tumor gene transfer.
