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

Telomerase is a therapeutic target for cancer. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of the telomerase, is transcriptionaly upregulated exclusively in about 90% of cancer cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that hTERT promoter can control the expression of exogenous genes to the telomerase-positive cancer cells, thus hTERT promoter is an excellent candidate for generating cancer-specific oncolytic adenovirus. In this study, we devised a novel oncolytic adenovirus (Ad.TERT) by replacing the normal E1A regulatory elements with hTERT promoter. Ad.TERT displays cancer-specific E1A expression, virus replication and cytolysis in in vitro experiments. In animal experiments, intratumoral administration of Ad.TERT demonstrates potent antitumoral efficacy at least in two xenograft models (Bcap37 and BEL7404). Ad.TERT was targeted by the telomerase activity in cancer cells and has potent antitumoral efficacy in vivo, and since telomerase activity is a wide-ranged tumor marker, Ad.TERT could be a powerful therapeutic agent for a variety of cancers.
