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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is usually refractory to the available treatments. For cancer gene therapy purposes, real-time imaging of therapeutic gene expression is of great importance because there are multiple factors that modulate the therapeutic gene expression in a complex tumor microenvironment. As a consequence, multiple doses of therapeutic viral vectors may be required for improved efficacy. In the present study, the luciferase reporter gene and the yeast cytosine deaminase (yCD) genes were bicistronically expressed using the foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A peptide under the regulation of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. The effectiveness of the yCD/5-FC (5-fluorocytosine) killing efficacy mediated by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) amplicon viral vector was shown using HCC and non-HCC cell lines in vitro. In addition, in vivo experiment also showed tumor regression of a primary HCC 26-1004 tumor xenograft in tumor expressing high levels of the yCD gene (as determined by noninvasive imaging) after intratumoral injection of 1.5 × 10(6) TU HGCX-L2C HSV-1 amplicon viral vector and 5-FC administration. The HSV-1 amplicon viral vector coupled with the yCD/5-FC prodrug activated suicide gene could potentially be of use in clinical gene therapy for HCC.
