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

Gene therapy is a novel means of anticancer treatment that has led to preliminary positive results in the preclinical setting, as well as in clinical trials; however, successful clinical application of this approach has been hampered by the inability of gene delivery systems to target tumors and to deliver a therapeutic payload to disseminated tumor foci efficiently. Along with viral vector systems, various mammalian cells with tropism for tumor cells have been considered as vehicles for delivery of anticancer therapeutics. The discovery of the inherent tumor-tropic properties of neural stem cells (NSCs) has provided a unique opportunity to develop targeted therapies that use NSCs as a vehicle to track invasive tumor cells and deliver anticancer agents selectively to diseased areas. Many in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the targeted migration of NSCs to infiltrative brain tumors, including malignant glioma, provides a potential therapeutic approach. In this review, the development of NSCs as targeted carriers for anticancer gene therapy is discussed, and barriers in the path to the clinic, as well as approaches to overcoming such barriers are presented.
