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

Oncolytic viruses represent a novel cancer treatment strategy. Despite their promising preclinical data, however, corresponding clinical trials have disappointed. To aid preclinical analyses, we hypothesized that three-dimensional tumor cell clusters or spheroids might provide an assay system superior to conventional monolayer cell cultures. Spheroids show viral infection, replication and oncolytic patterns distinct from conventional monolayer assays. Therefore, viral tumor penetration and oncolysis measurements may be improved with such three-dimensional models. Also, preclinical analyses of oncolytic viruses frequently measure mitochondrial activity, but more accurate measures of oncolysis might involve quantitation of intracellular protein release. Therefore, we measured luciferase released from luciferase-expressing spheroids and found unique patterns that maintained consistency with various viruses and doses. The relative variations between viruses and doses may represent temporal differences in oncolysis dynamics. Analysis of five recombinant replicative adenoviruses with promise for clinical application showed that Ad5/3-Delta24 produced the most luciferase release 1 week after infection and achieved the earliest and highest peak luciferase release level. Ad5/3-Delta24 also effected the earliest subtotal spheroid cell death. These findings closely parallel monolayer oncolysis assays with these agents. Therefore, the luciferase-expressing tumor spheroid assay represents a promising three-dimensional model for preclinical analysis of replicative oncolytic agents.
