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

Targeted molecular therapies inhibit proliferation and survival of cancer cells but may also affect immune cells. We have evaluated the effects of Sirolimus and Sorafenib on proliferation and survival of lymphoid cell subsets. Both drugs were cytotoxic to CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells, and were growth inhibitory for CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Cytotoxicity depended on CD3/CD28 stimulation and was detectable within 12 h, with 80-90% of CD4(+)CD25(high) cells killed by 72 h. Cell death was due to apoptosis, based on Annexin V and 7AAD staining. Addition of IL-2 prevented the apoptotic response to Sirolimus, potentially accounting for reports that Sirolimus can enhance proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(high) cells. These results predict that Sirolimus or Sorafenib would reduce CD4(+)CD25(high) cells if administered prior to antigenic stimulation in an immunotherapy protocol. However, administration of IL-2 protects CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells from cytotoxic effects of Sirolimus, a response that may be considered in design of therapeutic protocols.
