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

Although genetically engineered adenoviruses hold promise for the treatment of cancer, clinical trial reports have utilized intratumoral injection to date. To determine the feasibility of intravenous delivery of ONYX-015, an E1B-55kD gene-deleted replication selective adenovirus with demonstrated clinical safety and antitumoral activity following intratumoral injection, we performed a clinical trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. ONYX-015 was infused intravenously at escalating doses of 2 x 10(10) to 2 x 10(13) particles via weekly infusion within 21-day cycles in 10 patients with advanced carcinoma metastatic to the lung. No dose-limiting toxicity was identified. Mild to moderate fever, rigors and a dose-dependent transient transaminitis were the most common adverse events. Neutralizing antibody titers significantly increased within 3 weeks in all patients. IL-6, gamma-IFN, TNF-alpha and IL-10 increased within 24 h following treatment. Evidence of viral replication was detectable in three of four patients receiving ONYX-015 at doses > or = 2 x 10(12) particles and intratumoral replication was confirmed in one patient. In conclusion, intravenous infusion of ONYX-015 was well tolerated at doses up to 2 x 10(13) particles and infection of metastatic pulmonary sites with subsequent intratumoral viral replication was seen. The intravenous administration of genetically altered adenovirus is a feasible approach.
