Comparison of PSA-specific CD8+ CTL responses and antitumor immunity generated by plasmid DNA vaccines encoding PSA-HSP chimeric proteins.
Article in Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 ability of heat shock proteins (HSPs) to increase the potency of protein- and DNA-based vaccines has been previously reported. We have constructed several plasmid-based vectors encoding chimeric proteins containing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) fused to Mycobacterium tuberculosis hsp70, M. bovis hsp65, Escherichia coli DnaK (hsp70), or human hsp70. Immunizing mice with these plasmids induced CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific to human PSA and protected mice from a subsequent subcutaneous challenge with PSA-expressing tumors. We did not observe a significant difference either in the levels of PSA-specific CTLs or in protection against tumor challenge in mice immunized with plasmids expressing PSA-HSP chimeric proteins, as compared to mice receiving a conventional PSA-expressing DNA plasmid. Our data indicate that using HSPs as fusion partners for tumor-specific antigens does not always result in the enhancement of antigen-specific CTL responses when applied in the form of DNA vaccines.
