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

introductionPoxviral vaccines have been given to over 1 billion people in the successful global eradication of smallpox. Recombinant poxviruses have been investigated extensively as a novel immunotherapy for cancer, undergoing several iterations to optimize their immunogenicity and efficacy. The current platform expressing multiple costimulatory molecules plus a tumor-associated antigen such as PSA, that is, PSA-TRICOM (PROSTVAC-V/F), is promising and is currently in a Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. AREAS COVERED: This review discusses the clinical development of poxviral-based cancer vaccines, with a particular focus on the rationale for combining vaccines with other treatment modalities, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, other immune-based therapies and molecularly targeted therapy. We also discuss the importance of appropriate patient selection in clinical trial design. EXPERT OPINION: Preclinical and early clinical studies employing poxviral-vector vaccines have shown promising results with this novel immunologic approach, both alone and combined with other therapies. The challenges of translating the science of immunotherapy to clinical practice include clinical trial design that includes appropriate patient selection, appropriate end points and identification of meaningful surrogate biomarkers.
