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 cell (DC)-based immunotherapy has been investigated as a new therapeutic approach to intractable neuroblastomas; however, only limited clinical effect has been reported. To overcome the relatively low sensitivity of neuroblastomas against immunotherapy, we undertook a preclinical efficacy study to examine murine models to assess the combined effects of gamma-irradiation pretreatment and recombinant Sendai virus (ts-rSeV/dF)-mediated murine interferon-beta (mIFN-beta) gene transfer to DCs using established c1300 neuroblastomas. Similar to intractable neuroblastomas in the clinic, established c1300 tumors were highly resistant to monotherapy with either gamma-irradiation or DCs activated by ts-rSeV/dF without transgene (ts-rSeV/dF-null) that has been shown to be effective against other murine tumors, including B16F10 melanoma. In contrast, immunotherapy using DCs expressing mIFN-beta through ts-rSeV/dF (ts-rSeV/dF-mIFNbeta-DCs) effectively reduced tumor size, and its combination with gamma-irradiation pretreatment dramatically enhanced its antitumor effect, resulting frequently in the complete elimination of established c1300 tumors 7-9 mm in diameter, in a high survival rate among mice, and in the development of protective immunity in the mice against rechallenge by the tumor cells. These results indicate that the combination of ts-rSeV/dF-mIFNbeta-DCs with gamma-irradiation is a hopeful strategy for the treatment of intractable neuroblastomas, warranting further investigation in the clinical setting.
