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 glioma of the CNS is a tumor with a very bad prognosis. Development of adjuvant immunotherapy is hampered by interindividual and intratumoral antigenic heterogeneity of gliomas. To evaluate feasibility of tumor vaccination with (autologous) tumor cells, we have studied uptake of tumor cell lysates by dendritic cells (DCs), and the T-cell stimulatory capacity of the loaded DCs. DCs are professional antigen-presenting cells, which have already been used as natural adjuvants to initiate immune responses in human cancer. An efficacious uptake of tumor cell proteins, followed by processing and presentation of tumor-associated antigens by the DCs, is indeed one of the prerequisites for a potent and specific stimulation of T lymphocytes. Human monocytes were differentiated in vitro to immature DCs, and these were loaded with FITC-labeled tumor cell proteins. Uptake of the tumor cell proteins and presentation of antigens in the context of both MHC class I and II could be demonstrated using FACS analysis and confocal microscopy. After further maturation, the loaded DCs had the capacity to induce specific T-cell cytotoxic activity against tumor cells. We conclude that DCs loaded with crude tumor lysate are efficacious antigen-presenting cells able to initiate a T-cell response against malignant glioma tumor cells.
