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

The clonal immunoglobulin idiotype displayed on the surface of most malignant B cells is a patient- and tumour-specific antigen that can be used for therapeutic vaccination. Several studies have confirmed the biological efficacy of soluble protein idiotypic vaccination and two clinical trials have shown the clinical efficacy of this procedure. One study has demonstrated clinical benefit associated with idiotypic vaccination. However, three randomized clinical trials have recently failed to achieve their main end points for reasons that are probably unrelated to the vaccine. While scepticism towards this type of non-toxic medical intervention is mounting, such patient-specific treatments might yet see the light of day through better designed clinical trials.
