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

Malignant tumor cells often express matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) at a high level to enable their dissemination and metastasis. Sendai virus (SeV), a nonsegmented negative strand RNA virus, spreads in the target tissues in vivo via cleavage activation of the viral fusion glycoprotein by a tissue-specific, trypsin-like enzyme. By deleting the viral matrix protein, we previously generated a recombinant SeV that does not bud to mature virions, but is highly fusogenic and spreads extensively from cell to cell in a trypsin-dependent manner. Here, we changed the tryptic cleavage site of the fusion glycoprotein of this virus to a site susceptible to MMPs. The resulting recombinant virus was no longer activated by trypsin but spread efficiently in cultured cells supplemented with MMP2 or MMP9 and in human tumor cell lines expressing these MMPs. Furthermore, the virus spread extensively in tumor cells xenotrasplanted to nude mice without disseminating to the surrounding normal cells, leading to the inhibition of the tumor growth in the mice. These results demonstrate the selective targeting and killing of human tumor cells by recombinant SeV technology and greatly advance the reemerging concept of oncolytic virotherapy, which currently appears to rely largely upon a natural preference of certain viruses for cancer cells.
