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

Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines might induce both anti-tumour immunity and autoimmunity. In this report, we demonstrate elevated levels of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) in the sera of patients with cancer who had received immunotherapy with a dendritic/tumour-fusion vaccine. Twenty-two patients were treated with DC vaccine of fusion cells composed of autologous DCs and tumour cells (DC/tumour-fusion vaccine), which was generated by treating each cell type with polyethylene glycol. Nine of the 22 patients were treated with both the DC/tumour-fusion vaccine and systemic administration of recombinant human interleukin (rhIL)-12. Serum levels of ANA were examined with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. One patient with gastric carcinoma (patient 1, DC/tumour-fusion vaccine alone), one patient with breast cancer (patient 2, DC/tumour-fusion vaccine alone) and one patient with ovarian cancer (patient 3, DC/tumour-fusion vaccine + rhIL-12) showed significant elevations of serum ANA levels during treatment. In patient 1 malignant ascitic effusion resolved and serum levels of tumour markers decreased. Patients 2 and 3 remained in good physical condition during treatment for 24 and 9 months, respectively. Immunoblot analysis indicated antibody responses to autologous tumour cells after vaccination in patient 2. None of the treated patients showed clinical symptoms suggesting autoimmune disease. Patients with elevated serum levels of ANA had significantly longer treatment periods than those without it. Elevated serum levels of ANA after DC/tumour-fusion cell vaccine might be associated with anti-tumour immune response induced by the vaccination.
