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

A mouse glioblastoma cell line, termed GL261, was shown to express high levels of proteins involved in melanin biosynthesis such as the tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2), which is commonly overexpressed in melanoma cells. Mice injected with GL261 cells developed a CD8(+) T-cell response to TRP-2 and a DNA vaccine expressing human (h)TRP-2 induced CD8(+) T cells that recognized TRP-2 expressed by GL261 cells indicating that this melanoma-associated antigen may be suited for active immunotherapy of glioblastoma. Mice vaccinated with a DNA vaccine expressing TRP-2 were partially protected against subcutaneous, intravenous, or intracerebral challenge with the glioblastoma cells. Vaccine-induced protection against intracerebral challenge required both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Vaccine efficacy was enhanced upon addition of IL-12 as a genetic adjuvant. These results indicate that this well-defined melanoma-associated antigen can induce an adaptive immune response, which limits the intracerebral progression of a glioblastoma.
