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

Tumor antigen gene-modified dendritic cells (DC) generates robust antigen-specific protective antitumor responses. Though the role of CD4 positive and CD8 positive cells in the immunological response to gene-modified DC has been well-characterized, the role of NK cells in this response has been somewhat less clear. Owing to the significant contribution of innate immunity in other model systems, we postulated that NK cells would hold a critical position in the generation of an immune response following immunization with tumor antigen-engineered DC. Immunization with MART-1 melanoma antigen-engineered DC in C57BL/6 mice resulted in the generation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and in vivo protective responses to the murine B16 melanoma. These responses were dependent on the presence of functional NK cells, although NK cells alone were not sufficient in generating protective responses. Adoptive transfer of NK cells into an NK-deficient but T-cell-competent environment restored the protective response to gene-modified DC immunization. In conclusion, protective immunity after tumor antigen gene-modified DC immunization requires collaboration between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and NK cells.
