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

Agents that enhance T cell co-stimulatory signaling have emerged as promising cancer immunotherapies. Our laboratory has been evaluating the TNF receptor co-stimulatory molecule, OX40, which has the capacity to augment critical aspects of T cell function and induce tumor regression in animal models. Effective stimulation of OX40 expressing T cells was accomplished with agonist antibodies to OX40 that were eventually translated into a clinical trial for cancer patients. A recent attempt to assess the affect of immune senescence on OX40 therapy, revealed a dramatic loss of efficacy of the agonist therapy in older tumor-bearing mice. The deficiency in OX40-enhanced anti-tumor responses in older mice correlated with a decrease in the number of differentiated effector T cells. Further investigation suggests that the underlying age-related decline in the agonist OX40-mediated T cell responses was not inherent to the T cells themselves, but related to the host environment. Thus, effective use of immunotherapies based on T cell co-stimulatory molecules may require additional modifications, such as immune stimulants to increase innate immunity, to address age-related defects that reside outside of the T cell and within the host environment.
