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

Immunosuppression associated with ovarian cancer (OC) and resultant peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) hampers the efficacy of many promising treatment options, including immunotherapies. It is hypothesized that oncolytic virus-based therapies can simultaneously kill OC and mitigate immunosuppression. Currently, reovirus-based anticancer therapy is undergoing phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of OC. Hence, this study was focused on characterizing the effects of reovirus therapy on OC and associated immune microenvironment. Our data shows that reovirus efficiently killed OC cells and induced higher expression of the molecules involved in antigen presentation including major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, β2-microglobulin (β2M), TAP-1, and TAP-2. In addition, in the presence of reovirus, dendritic cells (DCs) overcame the OC-mediated phenotypic suppression and successfully stimulated tumor-specific CD8+ T cells. In animal studies, reovirus targeted local and distal OC, alleviated the severity of PC and significantly prolonged survival. These therapeutic effects were accompanied by decreased frequency of suppressive cells, e.g., Gr1.1+, CD11b+ myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and CD4+, CD25+, FOXP3+ Tregs, tumor-infiltration of CD3+ cells and higher expression of Th1 cytokines. Finally, reovirus therapy during early stages of OC also resulted in the postponement of PC development. This report elucidates timely information on a therapeutic approach that can target OC through clinically desired multifaceted mechanisms to better the outcomes.
