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

For the last several decades, the development of antitumor immune-based strategies and the engineering and testing of oncolytic viruses (OVs) has occurred largely in parallel tracks. Indeed, the immune system is often thought of as an impediment to successful oncolytic virus delivery and efficacy. More recently, however, both preclinical and clinical results have revealed potential synergy between these two promising therapeutic strategies. Here, we summarize some of the evidence that supports combining OVs with immuno-therapeutics and suggest new ways to mount a multipronged biological attack against cancers.
