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

There is a constant need for improved adjuvants to augment the induction of immune responses against tumor-associated antigens (TAA) during immunotherapy. Previous studies have established that listeriolysin O (LLO), a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin derived from Listeria monocytogenes, exhibits multifaceted effects to boost the stimulation of immune responses to a variety of antigens. However, the direct ability of LLO as an adjuvant and whether it acts as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) have not been demonstrated. In this paper, we show that a detoxified, nonhemolytic form of LLO (dtLLO) is an effective adjuvant in tumor immunotherapy and may activate innate and cellular immune responses by acting as a PAMP. Our investigation of the adjuvant activity demonstrates that dtLLO, either fused to or administered as a mixture with a human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E7 recombinant protein, can augment antitumor immune responses and facilitate tumor eradication. Further mechanistic studies using bone marrow-derived dendritic cells suggest that dtLLO acts as a PAMP by stimulating production of proinflammatory cytokines and inducing maturation of antigen-presenting cells (APC). We propose that dtLLO is an effective adjuvant for tumor immunotherapy, and likely for other therapeutic settings.
