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

purposeInfection with oncogenic human papillomaviruses has been linked to the development of cervical neoplasia and cancer. The exclusive expression of E7, a viral oncogene, in infected cells makes this protein an ideal target for immunotherapy. We recently reported on the results of a trial in women with cervical carcinoma-in-situ using HspE7, a protein vaccine consisting of full length HPV16 E7 linked to a heat shock protein from M. bovis. The stimulating effects of HspE7 on specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes have been demonstrated in vitro and in (pre-)clinical trials. The induction of a B-cell response by HspE7 and its association with clinical outcome is unknown, and is the purpose of this study. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe measured the serum IgG levels against HPV16 E7 and HPV16 and -18 VLPs using a multiplexed Luminex based assay in 57 women with CIS who received the HspE7 vaccine.

resultsVaccination with HspE7 results in a modest, yet maintained increase in HPV16 E7 specific IgG levels. While not significant, increased HPV16 E7 IgG levels appear to be correlated with a positive therapeutic effect. Women who were previously treated for recurrent disease (by LEEP) had significantly higher HPV16 E7 IgG levels compared with subjects without recurrent disease (p=0.01). In women with recurrent disease, higher IgG levels correlated with complete pathological response.

conclusionsThis study suggests that IgG levels could potentially be used as a marker for response to a therapeutic vaccine. Further translational investigations of the 'priming' of local immune responses using extirpative procedures should be explored.
