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

Lack of effective therapy of primary brain tumors has promoted the development of novel experimental approaches utilizing oncolytic viruses combined with gene therapy. Towards this end, we have assessed a conditionally replication-competent, gamma(1)34.5-deleted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) expressing cytosine deaminase (CD) for treatment of malignant brain tumors. Our results are summarized as follows: (i) a recombinant HSV (M012) was constructed in which both copies of the gamma(1)34.5 gene were replaced with the bacterial CD gene, under the control of the cellular promoter Egr-1; (ii) M012-infected cells in vitro efficiently convert 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) to 5-fluorouracil, thereby enhancing cytotoxicity of neighboring, uninfected cells; (iii) both direct and bystander cytotoxicity of murine neuroblastoma and human glioma cell lines after infection with M012 were demonstrated; (iv) direct intracerebral inoculation of A/J mice demonstrated lack of neurotoxicity at doses similar to G207, a gamma(1)34.5-deleted HSV with demonstrated safety in human patient trials and (v) intratumoral injection of M012 into Neuro-2a flank tumors in combination with 5-FC administration significantly reduced tumor growth versus tumors treated with R3659 combined with 5-FC, or treated with M012 alone. Thus, M012 is a promising new oncolytic HSV vector with an enhanced prodrug-mediated, antineoplastic effect that is safe for intracranial administration.
