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

Radiotherapy is a widely used treatment for localized malignancies that is often delivered in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. The concept that treatment of localized tumors can be improved with a radio- and chemo-inducible gene therapy strategy has been investigated in the laboratory and now translated to the clinic. The TNFerade (Ad.Egr-TNF11D) adenoviral vector was engineered by inserting radio- and chemo-inducible elements from the Egr-1 promoter upstream to a cDNA encoding tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Transduction of tumor cells with TNFerade and then treatment with radiation or chemotherapy is associated with spatial and temporal control of TNF-alpha secretion and enhanced antitumor activity. TNFerade has been evaluated in trials for patients with sarcomas, melanomas and cancers of the pancreas, esophagus, rectum and head and neck. If the ongoing phase III trial for pancreatic cancer is successful, TNFerade will likely become the first gene therapy approved for cancer in the United States.
