Advantages of a unique DNA-based vaccine in comparison to paclitaxel in treatment of an established intracerebral breast cancer in mice.

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.
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
In this study we compared the benefits of treating C3H/He mice with an established intracerebral breast carcinoma by immunization with a unique DNA-based vaccine to chemotherapy with paclitaxel. Prior studies revealed the immunotherapeutic properties of a vaccine prepared by transfer of genomic DNA from breast cancer cells into a highly immunogenic cell line. Here, C3H/He mice with an established intracerebral breast cancer were treated either by injection into the tumor bed through a unique cannula system with the cell based vaccine or with paclitaxel administered intraperitoneally. Both treatment strategies were effective in prolonging survival and stimulating a systemic anti-tumor immune response (p< 0.025). However, unlike mice treated with the vaccine, the animals that received paclitaxel alone displayed significant toxic side effects. No additional therapeutic advantage was detected when these two treatment strategies were combined. The vaccine tended to provide a somewhat better therapeutic and clearly better systemic immunologic effect based on two independent spleen cell assays in comparison to paclitaxel.
