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

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants that are attenuated for neurovirulence are being used for the treatment of cancer. We have examined the safety of G207, a multimutated replication-competent HSV-1 vector, in mice. BALB/c mice inoculated intracerebrally or intracerebroventricularly with 10(7) PFU of G207 survived for over 20 weeks with no apparent symptoms of disease. In contrast, over 80% of animals inoculated intracerebrally with 1.5 x 10(3) PFU of HSV-1 wild-type strain KOS and 50% of animals inoculated intracerebroventricularly with 10(4) PFU of wild-type strain F died within 10 days. Similarly, after intrahepatic inoculation of G207 (3 x 10(7) PFU) all animals survived for over 10 weeks, whereas no animals survived for even 1 week after inoculation with 10(6) PFU of KOS. After intracerebroventricular inoculation, LacZ expression was initially observed in the cells lining the ventricles and subarachnoid space; expression decreased until almost absent within 5 days postinfection, with no apparent loss of ependymal cells. G207 DNA could be detected by PCR in the brains of mice 8 weeks after intracerebral inoculation; however, no infectious virus could be detected after 2 days. As a model for latent HSV in the brain, we used survivors of an intracerebral inoculation of HSV-1 KOS at the 50% lethal dose. Inoculation of a high dose of G207 at the same stereotactic coordinates did not result in reactivation of detectable infectious virus or symptoms of disease. We conclude that G207 is safe at or above doses that were efficacious in mouse tumor studies.
