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

Leukemic cells exert immunosuppressive effects that interfere with dendritic cell (DC) function and hamper effective antileukemic immune responses. Here, we sought to enhance the immunogenicity of leukemic cells by loading them with the double-stranded (ds) RNA Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) ligand polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), mimicking viral infection of the tumor cells. Given the responsiveness of DC to TLR ligands, we hypothesized that the uptake of poly(I:C)-loaded leukemic cells by immature DC (iDC) would lead to DC activation. Primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and AML cell lines markedly responded to poly(I:C) electroporation by apoptosis, upregulation of TLR3 expression, enhanced expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and costimulatory molecules and by production of type I interferons (IFN). Upon phagocytosis of poly(I:C)-electroporated AML cells, DC maturation and activation were induced as judged by an increased expression of MHC and costimulatory molecules, production of proinflammatory cytokines and an increase of T helper 1 (T(H)1)-polarizing capacity. These immune effects were suboptimal when AML cells were passively pulsed with poly(I:C), indicating the superiority of poly(I:C) transfection over pulsing. Our results demonstrate that poly(I:C) electroporation is a promising strategy to increase the immunogenicity of AML cells and to convert iDC into activated mature DC following the phagocytosis of AML cells.
