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

We have investigated the therapeutic potential of a prototypic melanoma vaccine based on recombinant adenovirus expressing human dopachrome tautomerase in the B16F10 murine melanoma model. We found that in the presence of a tumor, the magnitude of T-cell immunity evoked by the vaccine was significantly reduced. This impairment was compounded by defects in cytokine production and degranulation within the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). We showed that the combination of vaccination with high-dose cyclophosphamide was able to skew the response toward the target antigen and enhanced both the quantity and quality of antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses in tumor-bearing mice, which resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. Furthermore, when tumor-specific antigens were targeted by the vaccine, the combination therapy could actually produce tumor regression, which appeared to result from the high frequency of antigen-specific T cells. These data show that recombinant adenovirus vaccines are compatible with conventional high-dose chemotherapy and that the combined treatment results in improved therapeutic outcomes relative to either agent individually.
