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

Cancer gene therapy by adenovirus vectors (Advs) for metastatic cancer is limited because systemic administration of Adv produces low therapeutic effect and severe side effects. In this study, we generated a dual cancer-specific targeting vector system by using PEGylation and the telomere reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter and attempted to treat experimental metastases through systemic administration of the vectors. We first optimized the molecular size of PEG and modification ratios used to create PEG-Ads. Systemic administration of PEG-Ad with 20-kDa PEG at a 45% modification ratio (PEG[20K/45%]-Ad) resulted in higher tumor-selective transgene expression than unmodified Adv. Next, we examined the effectiveness against metastases and side effects of a TERT promoter-driven PEG[20K/45%]-Ad containing the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk) gene (PEG-Ad-TERT/HSVtk). Systemic administration of PEG-Ad-TERT/HSVtk showed superior antitumor effects against metastases with negligible side effects. A cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter-driven PEG[20K/45%]-Ad also produced antimetastatic effects, but these were accompanied by side effects. Combining PEG-Ad-TERT/HSVtk with etoposide or 5-fluorouracil enhanced the therapeutic effects with negligible side effects. These results suggest that modification with 20-kDa PEG at a 45% modification ratio is the optimal condition for PEGylation of Adv, and PEG-Ad-TERT/HSVtk is a prototype Adv for systemic cancer gene therapy against metastases.
