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

The Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vector is an RNA-based suicide expression vector that has been used experimentally for tumour therapy. Recently, a new enhanced vector pSFV10-E has been developed that expresses foreign genes at levels up to 10 times higher than the original vector. Interleukin-12 (IL-12), an immunomodulatory cytokine, plays a key role in the induction of T-helper1 responses. The two IL-12 gene subunits were cloned from mouse splenocytes and inserted into the pSFV10-E and pSFV10 (non-enhanced) vectors. Both constructs expressed and secreted biologically active murine IL-12. Administration of high titre rSFV10-E-IL12 particles intratumourally to treat implanted K-BALB tumours in BALB/c mice demonstrated complete tumour regression in comparison to control or rSFV10-IL12 treated groups. High titre rSFV10-E-IL12 particles were also effective in the CT26 tumour model. Histological and immunohistochemical studies revealed tumour necrosis in addition to aggressive influx of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and other immune cells. Furthermore, inhibition of primary tumour growth and lung metastases of a metastatic (4T1) tumour model indicated the potential of high titres of rSFV10-E-IL12 particles as an efficient antitumour therapeutic agent.
