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

A reproducible therapy model for advanced intracerebral B16 melanoma is reported. Implanted tumors (D0), suppressed by a single 15 Gy radiosurgical dose of 100 kVp X-rays (D8), were further suppressed by a single ip injection of a Treg-depleting mAb given 2 days prior to the initiation (D9) of four weekly then eight bi-monthly sc injections of GMCSF-transfected, mitotically disabled B16 cells. The trends of seven independent experiments were similar to the combined result: The median (days) [SD/total N] of survival went from 15[1.09/62] (no treatment control) to 35.8[8.8/58] (radiation therapy only) to 52.5[13.5/57] (radiation therapy plus immunotherapy). Within 2 weeks after immunization, tumors in mice receiving radiation therapy plus immunotherapy were significantly smaller than tumors in mice treated only with radiosurgery. Splenocytes and lymph node cells from immunized mice showed increased interferon γ production when cultured with syngeneic tumor cells. We suggest that our model will be useful for the development and testing of novel combination therapies for brain tumors.
