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

We constructed a novel hepatocellular carcinoma-specific conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAd). This adenovirus, designated Ad.HS4.AFP.E1A/TRAIL, expresses E1A to mediate viral replication and TRAIL to enhance HCC-killing efficacy under the control of a modified AFP promoter. An insulator HS-4 was placed in front of the AFP promoter to enhance the fidelity of the heterologous promoter. This virus was shown to have specific cytolytic activity in AFP-expressing HCC cells in vitro. Furthermore, the replication efficiency of Ad.HS4.AFP.E1A/TRAIL correlated well with AFP expression of the host cells, showing a 100-fold and 1 000 000-fold decrease in the low-and non-AFP-expressing HCC cells, respectively, compared to the high AFP-expressing HCC cells. An increase in mRNA of TRAIL and the elevated Caspase-3 activity were also observed in Ad.HS4.AFP.E1A/TRAIL-infected HCC cells. These results indicated that TRAIL expression from the viral vector activated the Caspase-3 enzymatic capacity and the HCC cells were sensitive to TRAIL. In vivo, Ad.HS4.AFP.E1A/TRAIL effectively prevented the growth of low AFP-expressing BEL-7404 xenografts. These results indicate that Ad.HS4.AFP.E1A/TRAIL could provide a new strategy of gene therapy for HCC.
