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 advent of gene therapy in the early 1990's raised expectations for brain tumor therapies; however, whereas clinical trials in patients with malignant gliomas provided evidence of safety, therapeutic benefit was not convincing. These early forays resembled the historical introductions of other therapies that seemed promising, only to fail in human trials. Nevertheless, re-study in the laboratory and retesting in iterative laboratory-clinic processes enabled therapies with strong biological rationales to ultimately show evidence of success in humans and become accepted. Examples, such as organ transplantation, monoclonal antibody therapy and antiangiogenic therapy, provide solace that a strategy's initial lack of success in humans provides an opportunity for its further refinement in the laboratory and development of solutions that will translate into patient success stories. The authors herein summarize results from clinical trials of gene therapy for malignant gliomas, and discuss the influence of these results on present thought in preclinical research.
