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

Gene therapy of cancer represents a promising but challenging area of therapeutic research. The discovery of radiation-inducible genes led to the concept and development of radiation-targeted gene therapy. In this approach, promoters of radiation-inducible genes are used to drive transcription of transgenes in the response to radiation. Constructs in which the radiation-inducible promoter elements activate a transgene encoding a cytotoxic protein are delivered to tumors by adenoviral vectors. The tumoricidal effects are then localized temporally and spatially by X-rays. We review the conceptual development of TNFerade, an adenoviral vector containing radiation-inducible elements of the early growth response-1 promoter upstream of a cDNA encoding human tumor necrosis factor-alpha. We also summarize the preclinical work and clinical trials utilizing this vector as a treatment for diverse solid tumors.
