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

backgroundSuperficial bladder cancers are usually managed with transurethral resection followed by the intravesical administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin which requires major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression on cancer cells. Since cancer cells often loose MHC expression, a novel immunotherapy such as MHC-unrestricted gammadelta T cell therapy is desired.

objectiveTo clarify the relationship between the expression of MHC class I and clinicopathological features in bladder cancer patients, and investigate the effects of the administration of intravesical gammadelta T cells on bladder cancer.

methodsSamples from 123 patients who had undergone either transurethral resection or radical cystectomies were examined for MHC expression and the relationship between this and the clinicopathological features was analyzed statistically. The in vitro and in vivo effects of gammadelta T cells expanded by zoledronic acid (ZOL) against several types of cancer cell line and an orthotopic bladder cancer murine model which was pretreated with ZOL were investigated.

resultsMHC-diminished superficial bladder cancer was significantly more progressive than MHC-conservative bladder cancer (P = 0.047). In addition, there was a significant association between diminished MHC expression and poor disease free survival (P = 0.041) and overall survival (P = 0.018) after radical cystectomy. In vitro, all of the cell lines pretreated with 5-microM ZOL showed a marked increase in sensitivity to lysis by gammadelta T cells. Moreover, intravesical administration of gammadelta T cells with 5-microM ZOL significantly demonstrated antitumor activity against bladder cancer cells in the orthotopic murine model (P < 0.001), resulting in prolonged survival.

conclusionThe present murine model provides a potentially interesting option to develop immunotherapy using gammadelta T cells for bladder cancer in human.
