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

purposeDendritic cell (DC)-based cancer vaccine represents a promising immunotherapy against cancer. There has been recent evidence which have suggested that toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands may be critical for DC preparation; this was usually omitted in the past. Our study is designed to investigate if the vaccination of synergistical toll-like receptors activated DCs can induce more potent cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) responses and antitumor activity in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) transgenic mouse tumor models.

methodsWe involved combination of TLR3 and TLR7/8 ligands in culture protocol of DCs. The DCs' surface molecules expression, IL-12 secretion and proliferation capacity of lymphocytes were tested. We also investigate the CTL activity against MC38-CEA colon tumor cells and the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of DC vaccination in subcutaneous mouse colon tumor models.

resultsCompared with conventionally generated DCs, we showed synergistic TLR-activated DCs exhibited higher surface molecule expression, significantly higher secretion of IL-12 and more potent proliferating capacity of lymphocytes. Synergistic TLR-activated DCs were also able to induce lymphocytes possessing the specific cytotoxicity against MC38-CEA cells in vitro. Vaccination with CEA epitope pulsed TLR-activated DCs elicited antigen-specific preventive effect on MC38-CEA tumors, but failed to cure the tumor-bearing mice, that may be due to the suboptimal epitope selected and host immunosuppression.

conclusionsOur results have proved that combined activation of TLRs can lead to better maturation status of DCs and also induce more effective antitumor immune responses against colon cancer, suggesting this may be a potential strategy to develop more powerful DC cancer vaccines.
