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 cancer-testis antigen encoded by the MAGE-1 gene is an attractive antigen in tumor immunotherapy because it can be processed as a foreign antigen by the immune system and generate tumor-specific cellular immune response in vivo. However, increase of the potency of MAGE-1 DNA vaccines is still needed. The high degree of sequence homology and intrinsic immunogenicity of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) have prompted the suggestion that HSP70 might have immunotherapeutic potential, as HSP70 purified from malignant and virally infected cells can transfer and deliver antigenic peptides to antigen-presenting cells to elicit peptide-specific immunity. In this research, we evaluated the enhancement of linkage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 to MAGE-1 gene of the potency of antigen-specific immunity elicited by naked DNA vaccines. We found that vaccines containing MAGE-1-HSP70 fusion genes enhanced the frequency of MAGE-1-specific cytotoxic T cells in contract to vaccines containing the MAGE-1 gene alone. More importantly, the fusion converted a less effective DNA vaccine into one with significant potency against established MAGE-1-expressing tumors. These results indicate that linkage of HSP70 to MAGE-1 gene may greatly enhance the potency of DNA vaccines, and generate specific antitumor immunity against MAGE-1-expressing tumors.
