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

Replication-selective microbial agents hold promise as a novel cancer treatment platform. dl1520 (Onyx-015), an E1B-55 kD gene-deleted adenovirus, was the first such genetically engineered agent to be tested in humans. Over 200 cancer patients have been treated to date on over 10 clinical trials (phases I-III). The virus was generally well-tolerated at doses of up to 2 x 10(12) particles by intratumoral, intraperitoneal, hepatic arterial and intravenous administration; no maximally tolerated doses were identified by any route of administration. Viral replication was tumor-selective, and was documented after administration by all routes; replication was generally transient (<10 days), however, and was variable depending on tumor histology. single agent efficacy has been limited to date (0-14% local tumor regression rates). in combination with chemotherapy, however, encouraging antitumoral activity has been demonstrated. these clinical research results demonstrate the potential of this novel treatment platform, as well as the hurdles to be overcome. novel replication-selective agents with improved potency are needed.
