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

Virus-directed enzyme prodrug therapy utilizing the bacterial enzyme nitroreductase delivered by a replication-defective adenovirus vector to activate the prodrug CB1954 is a promising strategy currently undergoing clinical trials in patients with a range of cancers. Similarly, selectively replicating oncolytic adenoviruses are entering clinical trials. An understanding of interactions between vector and target cell are critical to the development of these strategies. We demonstrate that adenovirus vectors activate cellular pathways that promote cell survival in an NF-kappaB-dependent manner, and consequently have a negative effect on the efficacy of cell killing induced by cancer gene therapy strategies. This provides a potential therapeutic target to enhance the cytotoxicity of these approaches.
