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

IL-12 is thought to induce a cytokine cascade with antiangiogenic effects mediated by IFN-gamma and angiostatic CXCR3 chemokine ligands. Naked DNA intramuscular injection of an expression vector plasmid producing IL-12 resulted in significant, well-tolerated elevation of serum IL-12 levels. Injection of the IL-12 plasmid at least 2 days, and up to 20 days, before subcutaneous injection of matrigel with angiogenic factors resulted in strong prevention of angiogenesis in both C57/bl and nude mice. A single injection of the IL-12 plasmid contemporarily with the matrigel or 2 days after resulted in partial, statistically not significant, inhibition. Control plasmid injection did not affect either angiogenesis or angiogenesis inhibition by IL-12 protein in vivo. Angiogenesis inhibition was observed in NK cell-depleted C57/bl and nude mice as well as in IFN-gamma(-/-) and CXCR3(-/-) knockout mice, indicating that NK- and/or T-cell-initiated IFN-gamma-chemokine cascades were not involved in the angiogenesis inhibition observed in vivo. Finally, IL-12 plasmid DNA gene transfer significantly prevented the growth and vascularization of highly angiogenic KS-Imm Kaposi's sarcoma and TS/A murine mammary carcinoma tumors in nude and/or syngeneic mice. These data suggest that a preventive gene therapy approach using antiangiogenic cytokines can effectively inhibit tumor angiogenesis and KS, representing an example of angioimmunoprevention.
