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

Dendritic cells (DCs) have a critical role in the induction of antigen-specific immune responses, transporting antigens from peripheral tissue to regional lymph nodes where they interact with antigen-specific T lymphocytes. Recent studies revealed that the efficacy of the T cell-dependent immune response depends on the lifespan of the antigen-presenting DCs in the lymph nodes. Here, we succeeded in engineering long-lived antigen-presenting DCs via Bcl-XL-derived hyperactive mutant antiapoptotic protein (Bcl-X FNK) gene transfer. In a B16BL6 melanoma model, these long-lived DCs exerted potent antitumor immunity that depended mainly on antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Furthermore, in vivo longevity of the long-lived DC vaccine led to antigen-specific activation of interferon-gamma-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Thus, the long-lived DC vaccine strategy is highly useful for constructing DC vaccines, as well as other cell-based medicines, such as stem cell therapy.
