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

The oncotropic and oncolytic behaviors of certain autonomous rodent parvoviruses make them promising vectors for anticancer gene therapies. However, these parvoviruses are often not potent enough to kill all tumor cells equally well. With the aim of enhancing the intrinsic antitumor effect and the range of natural parvoviruses, a recombinant H1 parvovirus vector was constructed that produces the Apoptin protein, a tumor cell-specific, p53-independent, Bcl-2-insensitive apoptotic effector. We compared the apoptotic activity exerted by a recombinant hH1/Apoptin virus with that of a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-transducing recombinant virus, hH1/GFP, in three human tumor cell lines differing in their susceptibility to wild-type parvovirus H1-induced killing. We found that in cells that were rather resistant to the basal cytotoxic effect of wild-type H1 or the GFP recombinant virus, a parvovirus that expressed Apoptin caused a pronounced, additional cytotoxic effect. In contrast to its enhanced cytotoxicity toward tumor cells, hH1/Apoptin virus was not more toxic to normal human fibroblasts than was the wild-type H1 virus. Taken together, these data indicate that enhancing the oncotropic behavior of wild-type H1 parvoviruses with the tumor-specific apoptotic potency of Apoptin should lead to an effective replicative parvoviral vector.
