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

Delivery of viral vectors to tumors in the brain is a challenge, especially via systemic administration, which is key to targeting the invasive margins of malignant glioma and the multiple foci of metastatic disease. Like for other cancer therapeutics, the blood-brain barrier or even the blood-tumor barrier significantly limits delivery and efficacy. Blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBD) is one strategy for transiting the cerebrovasculature. G47Delta is a third-generation oncolytic replication-competent herpes simplex virus (HSV) vector, containing deletions of the gamma34.5 and alpha47 genes and an inactivating LacZ insertion in UL39 (ICP6). Intracarotid artery delivery of G47Delta after BBBD with 25% mannitol significantly extended the life of nude mice bearing intracerebral human MDA-MB-435 breast tumors, whereas, G47Delta injection contralateral to the tumor, in the absence of mannitol or mannitol alone had no effect on survival. G47Delta replication was extensive after BBBD, as visualized by X-gal staining. Staining of peripheral organs, lung and liver, was minimal and not altered by BBBD. This is the first demonstration of intracarotid arterial delivery of oncolytic HSV vectors and antitumor efficacy in a mouse model and opens the door to the use of mouse syngenic tumor models and transgenic/knockout animals.
