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

Primary tumor cells genetically modified to express a collection of immunological ligands on their surface may have the utility as therapeutic autologous cancer vaccines. However, genetic modification of primary tumor cells is not only cost, labor and time intensive, but also has safety repercussions. As an alternative, we developed the ProtEx technology that involves generation of immunological ligands with core streptavidin (SA) and their display on biotinylated cells in a rapid and efficient manner. We herein demonstrate that TC-1 tumor cells can be rapidly and efficiently engineered to codisplay on their surface two costimulatory proteins, SA-4-1BBL and SA-LIGHT, simultaneously. Vaccination with irradiated TC-1 cells codisplaying both chimeric proteins showed 100% efficacy in a prophylactic and >55% efficacy in a therapeutic tumor setting. In contrast, vaccination with TC-1 cells engineered with either protein alone showed significantly reduced efficacy in the prophylactic setting. Vaccine efficacy was associated with the generation of primary and memory T-cell and antibody responses against the tumor without detectable signs of autoimmunity. Engineering tumor cells in a rapid and effective manner to simultaneously display on their surface a collection of immunostimulatory proteins with additive/synergistic functions presents a novel alternative approach to gene therapy with considerable potential for cancer immunotherapy.
