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

The objective was to evaluate the toxicity and feasibility of intraperitoneal infusion of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) as therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer, and to determine if repetitive cycles of CTL generation and infusion measurably increases the host's ovarian cancer immune response. In this study, 7 subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer confined to the peritoneal cavity underwent up to 4 cycles, each cycle beginning with a leukapheresis for collection of precursor lymphocytes, which were stimulated in vitro with mucin 1, a tumor-specific antigen found commonly in ovarian cancer cells. The resulting new CTL for each cycle were reintroduced into the host by intraperitoneal infusion. Immunologic parameters (killer cells, cytokine production, memory T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells) were studied. Toxicity, CA-125, and survival data were also evaluated. The tumor marker CA-125 was nonstatistically significantly reduced after the first month of immunotherapy. However, after that it rose. Killer cells, cytokine production, and memory T lymphocytes increased after the first cycle of stimulation, but plateaued or reduced thereafter. The percent of natural killer cells inversely correlated with other immune parameters. Median survival was 11.5 months. One subject is free of disease since December, 2000. Multiple cycles, beyond 1 cycle, of T-cell stimulation followed by adoptive T-cell infusion, may not enhance the in vivo immune response.
