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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive type of all primary brain tumors, with an overall median survival <1 year after diagnosis. Despite introduction of multimodal treatment approaches, the prognosis has not improved significantly over the past 50 years. In this study we investigated the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector encoding human interferon-beta (AAV-hIFN-beta) on glioblastoma growth. Recently, we found that peritumoral parenchymal transduction with an AAV-hIFN-beta was exceptionally efficient in eradicating GBM brain tumors. However, the extensive infiltration and migration displayed by glioblastoma cells in patients may leave a significant number of tumor cells outside a local therapeutic zone created by intraparenchymal delivery of AAV vectors. Here we show that pretreatment of mice by ICV infusion of an AAV-IFN-beta completely prevents tumor growth in an orthotopic model of GBM. Furthermore, ICV infusion of AAV-IFN-beta into mice bearing preestablished U87 intracranial tumors improved their survival compared to mice infused through the same route with a control AAV vector. These data suggest that ICV injection of AAV vectors encoding antitumor proteins is a promising approach deserving further consideration for the treatment of GBM.
