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

Staphylococcal enterotoxins A (SEA) and B (SEB) are classical models of superantigens (SAg), which induce potent T-cell-stimulating activity by forming complexes with MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells. This large-scale activation of T-cells is accompanied by increased production of cytokines such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Additionally, as we previously reported, IFN-γ-producing CD8(+) T cells act as "helper cells," supporting the ability of dendritic cells to produce interleukin-12 (IL-12)p70. Here, we show that DC pulsed with SAg promote the enhancement of anti-tumor immunity. Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) were pulsed with OVA(257-264) (SIINFEKL), which is an H-2Kb target epitope of EG7 [ovalbumin (OVA)-expressing EL4] cell lines, in the presence of SEA and SEB and were subcutaneously injected into naïve C57BL/6 mice. SAg plus OVA(257-264)-pulsed DC vaccine strongly enhanced peptide-specific CD8(+) T cells exhibiting OVA(257-264)-specific cytotoxic activity and IFN-γ production, leading to the induction of protective immunity against EG7 tumors. Furthermore, cyclophosphamide (CY) added to SAg plus tumor-antigens (OVA(257-264), tumor lysate, or TRP-2) pulsed DC immunization markedly enhanced tumor-specific T-cell expansion and had a significant therapeutic effect against various tumors (EG7, 2LL, and B16). Superantigens are potential candidates for enhancing tumor immunity in DC vaccines.
