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

Adoptive immunotherapy with tumor-specific T cells represents a promising treatment strategy for patients with malignancy. However, the efficacy of T-cell therapy has been limited by the ability to expand tumor-reactive cells with an activated phenotype that effectively target malignant cells. We have developed an anticancer vaccine in which patient-derived tumor cells are fused with autologous dendritic cells (DCs), such that a wide array of tumor antigens are presented in the context of DC-mediated costimulation. In this study, we demonstrate that DC/tumor fusions induce T cells that react with tumor and are dramatically expanded by subsequent ligation of the CD3/CD28 costimulatory complex. These T cells exhibit a predominantly activated phenotype as manifested by an increase in the percentage of cells expressing CD69 and interferon gamma. In addition, the T cells upregulate granzyme B expression and are highly effective in lysing autologous tumor targets. Targeting of tumor-specific antigen was demonstrated by the expansion of T cells with specificity for the MUC1 tetramer. Stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 followed by DC/tumor fusions or either agent alone failed to result in a similar expansion of tumor-reactive T cells. Consistent with these findings, spectratyping analysis demonstrates selective expansion of T-cell clones as manifested by considerable skewing of the Vbeta repertoire following sequential stimulation with DC/tumor fusions and anti-CD3/CD28. Gene expression analysis was notable for the upregulation of inflammatory pathways. These findings indicate that stimulation with DC/tumor fusions provides a unique platform for subsequent expansion with anti-CD3/CD28 in adoptive T-cell therapy of cancer.
