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

Malignant glioma is an incurable disease with a relatively short median survival. Several clinical trials have demonstrated that immunotherapy with vaccination is a safe and possibly effective way of prolonging survival. Antibody-based blockade of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) ligation on T lymphocytes is associated with enhanced antitumor immunity in animal models of cancer and in patients with advanced melanoma. We hypothesized that sequential therapy with granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-expressing whole-glioma-cell vaccination and CTLA-4 blockade is an effective strategy for treating established intracranial gliomas. GL261 glioma cells were injected into the right frontal lobes of syngeneic C57/BL6 mice. At days 3, 6, and 9 after tumor implantation, mice were treated with subcutaneous injection of irradiated GM-CSF-expressing GL261 cells. Mice were also treated with intraperitoneal injection of anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), either at days 3, 6, and 9 or days 12, 15, and 18. Animals were followed for survival. Splenocytes were harvested at day 22 for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assays. Early treatment of established intracranial gliomas with high-dose CTLA-4 blockade was associated with increased survival in GL261-bearing mice. Later treatment with anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies did not significantly improve survival compared with control-treated mice. Early vaccination followed by subsequent CTLA-4 blockade was associated with significantly improved survival versus either treatment alone and intensified tumor-specific immunity as measured by interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay. Sequential immunotherapy with GM-CSF-expressing irradiated glioma cells and CTLA-4 blockade synergistically prolongs survival in mice bearing established intracranial gliomas.
