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

Although the treatment outcome of lymphoid malignancies has improved in recent years by the introduction of transplantation and antibody-based therapeutics, relapse remains a major problem. Therefore, new therapeutic options are urgently needed. One promising approach is the selective activation of apoptosis in tumor cells by the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). This study investigated the pro-apoptotic potential of a novel TRAIL fusion protein designated scFvCD19:sTRAIL, consisting of a CD19-specific single-chain Fv antibody fragment (scFv) fused to the soluble extracellular domain of TRAIL (sTRAIL). Potent apoptosis was induced by scFvCD19:sTRAIL in several CD19-positive tumor cell lines, whereas normal blood cells remained unaffected. In mixed culture experiments, selective binding of scFvCD19:sTRAIL to CD19-positive cells resulted in strong induction of apoptosis in CD19-negative bystander tumor cells. Simultaneous treatment of CD19-positive cell lines with scFvCD19:sTRAIL and valproic acid (VPA) or Cyclosporin A induced strongly synergistic apoptosis. Treatment of patient-derived acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and chronic B-lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells resulted in strong tumoricidal activity that was further enhanced by combination with VPA. In addition, scFvCD19:sTRAIL prevented engraftment of human Nalm-6 cells in xenotransplanted NOD/Scid mice. The pre-clinical data presented here warrant further investigation of scFvCD19:sTRAIL as a potential new therapeutic agent for CD19-positive B-lineage malignancies.
