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 wnt signaling pathway is constitutively activated in colon tumors by mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli and beta-catenin genes. We have modified the minute virus of mice (MVM) P4 promoter to make it responsive to wnt signaling by inserting binding sites for the heterodimeric beta-catenin/Tcf transcription factor. In luciferase assays we can see up to 20-fold selectivity of Tcf mutant P4 promoters for cells with activated wnt signaling. Hybrid MVM/H-1 viruses containing Tcf mutant promoters were tested for NS1 expression, viral DNA replication, virus replication, and cytopathic effect on colon, lung, kidney, and cervical cancer cell lines. Activation of the wnt pathway by expression of Delta N-beta-catenin increased NS1 expression and viral burst size in 293T and H1299 lung cancer cells, showing that the Tcf mutant P4 promoter can respond to wnt signals in the context of the virus. Compared to the parental virus, the burst size of the Tcf mutant viruses was reduced at least 1,000-fold in H1299, 293T, NB324K, and HeLa cells, which have inactive wnt signaling pathways. The burst size and cytopathic effect of the Tcf viruses was near wild-type levels in SW480 and Isreco1 colon cancer cell lines, which have high Tcf activity. The high specificity of these viruses should permit the development of H-1 virus-based vectors which combine high safety and greater efficacy in cancer therapy.
