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

In our recent study, replicative alphaviral vector VA7 was found to be effective against orthotopic human U87-glioma xenografts in an athymic mouse model eradicating the tumors with single intravenous (i.v.) injection. Here, we tested the efficacy of VA7 in immunocompetent orthotopic GL261 and CT-2A glioma models of C57BL/6 mouse in vivo. The cell lines were susceptible to VA7 infection in vitro, but GL261 infection was highly restricted in confluent cell cultures, and mouse interferon-β (IFNβ) pretreatment prevented the replication of VA7 in both cell lines. When mice bearing orthotopic GL261 or CT-2A tumors were administered neurotropic VA7, either i.v. or intracranially (i.c.), the vector was unable to infect the tumor and no survival benefit was achieved. Pretreatments with immunosuppressive cyclophosphamide (CPA) and rapamycin markedly lowered serum-neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) but had no effect on tumor infection or survival. Intracranial GL261 tumors were refractory also in athymic C57BL/6 mice, which have serious defects in their adaptive immunity. Implanted VA7-infected GL261 cells formed tumors with only slightly delayed kinetics and without improving survival thus excluding the participation of physical barriers and indicating robust host IFN action. Mouse and human IFNβ do not seem be species cross-reactive, which might limit the translational relevance of xenograft models in oncolytic virotherapy.
