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

Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in men and is normally associated with increased serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Therefore, PSA is one potential target for a prostate cancer vaccine. In this study we analyzed the functionality of new bacterial PSA vaccines, expressed and secreted via the hemolysin (HlyA) secretion system of Escherichia coli, the prototype of Type I secretion systems (T1SS) using an attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium aroA strain as carrier. The data demonstrate that a bacterial live vaccine encompassing T1SS in combination with cholera toxin subunit B can be successfully used for delivery of PSA to induce cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell responses resulting in an efficient prevention of tumor growth in mice.
