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

Patients with relapsed malignant glioma have a poor prognosis. We developed a strategy of vaccination using autologous mature dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumour homogenate. In total, 12 patients with a median age of 36 years (range: 11-78) were treated. All had relapsing malignant glioma. After surgery, vaccines were given at weeks 1 and 3, and later every 4 weeks. A median of 5 (range: 2-7) vaccines was given. There were no serious adverse events except in one patient with gross residual tumour prior to vaccination, who repetitively developed vaccine-related peritumoral oedema. Minor toxicities were recorded in four out of 12 patients. In six patients with postoperative residual tumour, vaccination induced one stable disease during 8 weeks, and one partial response. Two of six patients with complete resection are in CCR for 3 years. Tumour vaccination for patients with relapsed malignant glioma is feasible and likely beneficial for patients with minimal residual tumour burden.
