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

aimTo estimate the effect of a therapeutic vaccine against pancreatic carcinoma based on dendritic cell (DC) vaccine modified with tumor lysate and Interleukin-18 gene.

methodsThe BALB/C mice model of pancreatic carcinoma was induced with DMBA. DC vaccine was constructed through pulsed with tumor lysate and transfected by the recombinant adenoviral vector encoding IL-18 gene. The immunotherapeutic effects of DC vaccine on mice with pancreatic carcinoma were assessed (divided into DC-IL18-Lysate group, DC-Lysate group, DC-IL18 group, DC group, PBS group).

resultsAfter vaccination of the DC vaccine, the concentration of IL-18 and IFN-gamma were 2161+/-439 ng x L(-1) and 435+/-72 ng x L(-1) in DC-IL18-Lysate group and there was significant difference compared with other groups (P<0.01). After vaccination of the DC vaccine, the transplanted tumors were observed on 30 days in DC-Lysate groups, on 16 days in DC-IL18 groups, on 3 days in control group, but mice remained tumor-free for at least 50 days in DC-IL18-Lysate group and there was significant difference between DC-IL18-Lysate group and other groups (P<0.01). The median survival exceeds 62 days in DC-IL18-Lysate group. But the median survival was 48.6 days in DC-Lysate group, 33 days in DC-IL18 group, 17 days in PBS group. The survival period was obviously prolonged in DC-IL18-Lysate group than in other groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The weight of pancreatic tumor was 0.22+/-0.083 g in DC-IL18-Lysate group, 1.45+/-0.74 g in DC-Lysate group, 1.89+/-1.34 g in DC-IL18 group, 3.0+/-1.6 g in DC group, 2.9+/-2.0 g in PBS group and the weight of tumor obviously reduced in DC-IL18-Lysate group than in other groups (P<0.05, P<0.01).

conclusionDC vaccine modified with tumor lysate and Interleukin-18 gene can induce a specific and effective immune response against pancreatic carcinoma cell.
