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

It has been shown that allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be one of the therapeutic options for patients with metastatic solid tumors, such as renal cancer. However, the development of relatively severe GVHD seems to be necessary to achieve tumor regression in the current setting. Thus, it is crucial to identify minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) only expressed in tumor cells but not GVHD target organs. In this study, we examined whether three mHags: ACC-1 and ACC-2 encoded by BCL2A1, and HA-1 encoded by HMHA1, could serve as such targets for melanoma. Real-time PCR and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the expression of both BCL2A1and HMHA1 in melanoma cell lines and primary melanoma cells was comparable to that of hematopoietic cells. Indeed, melanoma cell lines were efficiently lysed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for ACC-1, ACC-2, and HA-1. Our data suggest that targeting mHags encoded not only by HMHA1, whose aberrant expression in solid tumors has been reported, but also BCL2A1 may bring about beneficial selective graft-versus-tumor effects in a population of melanoma patients for whom these mHags are applicable.
