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

Coexpression of tumor antigens together with immunomodulatory molecules is a strategy in DNA vaccination aiming at an amplification of the antitumor immune response. Epstein-Barr virus-induced-molecule-1-ligand-chemokine (ELC/CCL19) is a CC chemokine that binds to the chemokine receptor CCR7. CCR7 is expressed on mature dendritic cells (DC) and distinct T- and B-cell subpopulations. CCL19 (ELC) is mainly expressed in secondary lymphoid organs and plays a central role in regulating the encounters between DC and T cells. We asked whether CCL19 is able to augment immunogenicity of a DNA vaccine in a C57BL/6 mouse model with syngeneic MCA205 (beta-gal) tumor cells. Mice were vaccinated twice intramuscularly on days 1 and 15 and tumor challenge was performed subcutaneously on day 25. Coadministration of plasmid DNA (pDNA) (beta-gal) plus pDNA (CCL19) was compared with pDNA (beta-gal), pDNA (CCL19), mock vector and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) alone. Coexpression of CCL19 resulted in enhancement of a Th1-polarized immune response with substantial improvement of the protective effect of the DNA vaccine. Immunohistochemical staining revealed an increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration in the tumor tissue of mice that had been immunized with pDNA (beta-gal) plus pDNA (CCL19). We conclude that CCL19 is an attractive adjuvant for DNA vaccination able to augment antitumor immunity and that this effect is partially caused by enhanced CD8+ T-cell recruitment.
