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

Lentiviral vectors have emerged as promising tools for both gene therapy and immunotherapy purposes. They exhibit several advantages over other viral systems in that they are less immunogenic and are capable of transducing a wide range of different cell types, including dendritic cells (DC). DC transduced ex vivo with a whole range of different (tumor) antigens were capable of inducing strong antigen-specific T-cell responses, both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, the administration of lentiviral vectors in vivo has gained substantial interest as an alternative method for antigen-specific immunization. This method offers a number of advantages over DC vaccines as the same lentivirus can in principle be used for all patients resulting in a significantly reduced cost and requirement for considerably less expertise for the generation and administration of lentiviral vaccines. By selectively targeting lentiviral vectors to, or restricting transgene expression in certain cell types, selectivity, safety and efficacy can be further improved. This review will focus on the use of direct administration of lentiviral vectors encoding tumor-associated antigens (TAA) for the induction of tumor-specific immune responses in vivo, with a special focus on problems related to the generation of large amounts of highly purified virus and specific targeting of antigen-presenting cells (APC).
