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 utility of conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAds) in cancer gene therapy is based on their ability to destroy tumor cells by oncolysis. However, in order to achieve adequate therapeutic response, CRAds have to spread through the tumor tissue by replication. Thus, to study the potency of these viruses to replicate and penetrate in tumors, we created a herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase-green fluorescent protein fusion gene (TK-GFP) encompassing CRAd (Ad5Delta24TK-GFP), whose tumor selectivity is mediated by a retinoblastoma (Rb)-binding site mutation. In addition, we evaluated the oncolytic efficacy of Ad5Delta24TK-GFP in combination with the TK/ganciclovir (GCV) system. Based on our results, Ad5Delta24TK-GFP replicates in cancer cells resulting in oncolysis and can efficiently penetrate into tumors. Additionally, the combination of GCV with Ad5Delta24TK-GFP augmented cell death in vitro but this was not observed in vivo: tumor growth was significantly reduced by oncolysis when compared to non-replicative virus (p<0.001), but administration of GCV did not significantly enhance oncolysis. This suggests that in certain conditions, TK/GCV-mediated cell killing may be counterproductive to replication and oncolysis, which on the other hand might be useful feature for clinical trials in case of replication-associated toxicity.
