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

Injection of dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with tumor antigens is a novel treatment strategy against malignancies, and aims to elicit anti-tumoral cell-mediated immune responses. We studied the in vitro proliferative responses and cytokine production in T cell cultures after 2 stimulations with autologous DC loaded with tumor lysates derived from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells in the presence of recombinant interleukin (rIL)-6/rIL-12 in the first, and rIL-2/rIL-7 in the second stimulation. After the second stimulation, T cells were co-cultured with glioblastoma (GBM) cells and tumor growth suppression by T cells was assessed using a MTT assay. Although loaded DC induced a significant shift towards T helper cell type 1 (Th1) cytokine production as compared to unloaded DC, persistent interleukin (IL)-10 production by T cells both at the end of 2 stimulations with loaded DC and during the effector phase was also required for their tumor suppressive activity. A stronger glioma growth suppressive activity by T cells stimulated with tumor lysate-loaded DC than by control T cells, cultured with unloaded DC, was seen only if the relative IL-10 production after two stimulations with loaded DC was at least 40% of the IL-10 production after two stimulations with unloaded DC. If less than 40% IL-10 was produced in the experimental condition compared to the control condition, T cells also lost their tumor growth suppressive activity. Addition of rIL-10 during stimulation increased the suppressive activity on tumor cell viability and interferon (IFN)-gamma production by T cells that showed Th1 response upon stimulation with loaded DC. The data point towards the production of both IFN-gamma and IL-10 by responding effector T cells, and towards an immune modulatory rather than immune suppressive role of IL-10 to generate anti-tumoral effector T cells against GBM.
