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

purposeThe efficient identification of peptide antigens recognized by ovarian cancer-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) requires the use of well-characterized ovarian cancer cell lines. To develop such a panel of cell lines, 11 ovarian cancer cell lines were characterized for the expression of class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded molecules, 15 tumor antigens, and immunosuppressive cytokines [transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and IL-10].

methodsClass I MHC gene expression was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and class I and class II MHC protein expression was determined by flow cytometry. Tumor antigen expression was determined by a combination of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and flow cytometry. Cytokine expression was determined by ELISA.

resultsEach of the ovarian cancer cell lines expresses cytokeratins, although each cell line does not express the same cytokeratins. One of the lines expresses CD90, which is associated with a fibroblast lineage. Each of the cell lines expresses low to moderate amounts of class I MHC molecules, and several of them express low to moderate amounts of class II MHC molecules. Using a combination of PCR and flow cytometry, it was determined that each cell line expressed between six and thirteen of fifteen antigens tested. Little to no TGF-beta3 was produced by any of the cell lines, TGF-beta1 was produced by three of the cell lines, TGF-beta2 was produced by all of the cell lines, with four of the cell lines producing large amounts of the latent form of the molecule, and IL-10 was produced by one of the cell lines.

conclusionsEach of the 11 ovarian cancer lines is characterized by a unique expression pattern of epithelial/fibroblast markers, MHC molecules, tumor antigens, and immunosuppressive cytokines. Knowledge of these unique expression patterns will increase the usefulness of these cell lines in identifying the antigens recognized by ovarian cancer-specific CTL.
