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

backgroundPrevious studies have shown successful antitumor effects of systemically delivered double-deleted vaccinia virus (vvDD) against a number of adult tumor models, including glioma, colon and ovarian cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the oncolytic potential of vvDD against a panel of cell lines representative of pediatric solid tumors that are currently difficult to cure.

methodsCell lines derived from central nervous system atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) (BT12, BT16 and KCCF1), sarcoma (143B, HOS, RD and RH30), and neuroblastoma (SKNAS, SKNBE2, IMR-5 and IMR-32) were examined for vvDD mediated cytotoxicity defined by virus expansion followed by loss of tumor cell viability. The normal human fibroblast cell line HS68 was used as a control. Next, relevant orthotopic, subcutaneous and lung metastasis xenograft models were treated with intravenous doses of live vvDD or killed virus controls (DV). Tumor growth inhibition and viral replication were quantified and survival outcomes of these animals were assessed.

resultsvvDD was able to infect and kill nine of eleven of the pediatric tumor cells (81.8%) in vitro. In xenograft models, intravenous administration of a single dose of vvDD significantly inhibited the growth of tumors and prolonged the survival of intracranial and metastatic tumors.

conclusionsOncolytic vvDD administered i.v. shows activity in preclinical models of pediatric malignancies that are resistant to many currently available treatments. Our data support further evaluation of vvDD virotherapy for refractory pediatric solid tumors.
