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

Malignant diseases induce immune responses against them which have variable success in controlling progression of disease. A variety of congenital and acquired disorders provide evidence in support of T cell or NK cell immune surveillance mechanisms in human hematological malignancies. Furthermore, clinical experience with stem cell transplantation underlines the potential for both T and NK cell-mediated antileukemia effects. Animal models of tumor surveillance and viral-driven lymphoproliferative diseases in man emphasize the dynamic nature of the equilibrium between tumors and the immune system, which can lead to tumor escape in individuals with normal immune function. In hematological malignancies the implication of a dynamic immune surveillance model is that chemotherapy may disrupt potentially competent immune surveillance mechanisms leading to disease recurrence following successful tumor bulk reduction by chemotherapy. This possibility deserves further investigation with a view to developing strategies to boost immune function following chemotherapy so as to combine the beneficial effect of chemotherapy with an immune response capable of sustaining remissions.
