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 generated a novel oncolytic Adenovirus (Ad), ColoAd1, with significantly increased potency ( approximately 100-fold) relative to its parent viruses, Ad11p and Ad3, or to the clinically tested oncolytic Ad, ONYX-015. Although this agent has a significant increase in its therapeutic window relative to ONYX-015 or its parent viruses, its ability to intervene and control virotherapy in treated patient is an important safety consideration for a novel biological therapy, such as ColoAd1. As there are no approved treatments for Ad infections, we sought to define whether antivirals being used to experimentally treat Ad infections (cidofovir (CDV), ribavirin) had any activity against ColoAd1. In addition, we incorporated a well-described pro-drug converting enzyme, the herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene, into the viral genome to test whether the expression of this enzyme directly from the virus could be exploited as a safety valve for arresting the viral infection in the presence of the pro-drug, ganciclovir. Both the antiviral drug, CDV, and the incorporation of the pro-drug-converting TK enzyme were validated as effective approaches to controlling ColoAd1 infection, and this represents an important advancement in the development of ColoAd1 as an anticancer treatment.
