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

Replication-competent retrovirus (RCR) vectors are intrinsically incapable of infecting quiescent cells and have been shown to achieve highly efficient and tumor-restricted replicative spread and gene transfer in vivo after direct intratumoral injection in a variety of primary cancer models. However, i.v. delivery of RCR vectors expressing therapeutic genes has never previously been tested, particularly in an immunocompetent tumor model. Therefore, in the present study, we sought to test the therapeutic effect of an RCR vector (ACE-CD) carrying the yeast cytosine deaminase (CD) gene, which converts the nontoxic prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5FC) into the chemotoxin 5-fluorouracil, after delivery by infusion into the locoregional circulation in a multifocal hepatic metastasis model of colon cancer. After confirmation of suicide gene cytotoxicity in vitro, multifocal hepatic tumors were established in syngeneic mice with murine CT26 colorectal cancer cells expressing firefly luciferase (CT26-Luc), and the ACE-CD vector was infused via intrasplenic injection into the portal circulation. Fourteen days after locoregional infusion, systemic administration of 5FC resulted in significant inhibition of bioluminescent signals in mice whose tumors had been infected with RCR but not in control mice. Notably, there was no detectable RCR vector spread to normal liver or bone marrow by quantitative PCR analysis. Our results thus show that locoregional delivery of a suicide gene by RCR vectors infused into the portal circulation results in progressive transduction of multiple tumor foci in the liver, without evidence of spread to adjacent normal parenchyma or extrahepatic tissues, and can achieve significant tumor growth inhibition.
