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

backgroundRecent preclinical and clinical evidence suggests the use of allogeneic tumor as a source of antigen for DC-based immunotherapy against cancer. We hypothesized that addition of allogeneic tumor lysate to monocyte-derived DC culture could serve a dual purpose: (1) antigen source and (2) protein supplementation of DC culture media. Protein supplementation whether of known origin (human serum/plasma, fetal bovine serum, human serum albumin) or undeclared origin ("serum-free" media) is a source of variability and bias. We addressed the question whether protein supplementation can be omitted in the presence of allogeneic tumor lysate. MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman DC cultured in the presence of lysate from medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) cell line SHER-I (TuLy-DC) and DC pulsed with the same lysate but cultured in the presence of FBS (FBS-DC) were assessed for morphology, phenotype, maturation and functional properties.

resultsIn comparison of FBS-DC/TuLy-DC no significant differences in morphology, phenotype and maturation could be detected. Both culture conditions produced CD1a(high), CD14(low) DC with high expression of costimulatory molecules and CD83 upon stimulation. TuLy-DC gave significantly better yields and produced more IL12p70. DC showed high (allo)stimulatory capacity toward T-cells. TuLy-DC induced more intracellular IFNgamma in CD8+T-cells of vaccinated MTC patients. Both types of DC induced killing of SHER-I after short in vitro restimulation. Tumor lysate from SHER-I can substitute for further protein supplementation in DC culture. Allogeneic tumor lysates should be taken into consideration as both source of antigen and protein supplementation in monocyte-derived DC culture.
