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 key to success with nonviral gene therapy as a treatment for cancer is to discover effective therapeutic genes and gene delivery methods and to understand how tumors are eradicated. We discovered that electroporation of IFN-alpha DNA into tumors in the SCCVII tumor-bearing mice led to tumor eradication in 50% of the mice and a more than two-fold increase in survival time when compared with controls (P = 0.0012). Analyses using cDNA array and Northern blot indicated that the genes responsible for the therapeutic effect of electro-IFN-alpha gene therapy included IRF-7, Granzyme A, Granzyme C, Gjb2, Krt14, Mig, IP-10 and MCP3. Because most of these genes have been known to either inhibit angiogenesis (Mig, IP-10), inhibit tumor growth (Gjb2, MCP3), kill tumor cells (Granzyme A and C), or induce expression of antitumor gene (IRF-7), they may become promising therapeutic gene candidates for a combination gene therapy approach to cancer treatment.
