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

RH2 is a neurovirulent γ134.5 gene-deficient herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with a lytic ability in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells; it is related to spontaneously occurring HSV-1 mutant HF10. The effect of RH2 on SCC was examined using a syngeneic C3H mouse model. After infection of mouse SCCVII cells with RH2, cell viability was decreased at first, but recovered by prolonged culture, indicating the limited replication of RH2. The antitumor ability of RH2 was examined using a bilateral SCCVII tumor model. The growth of the RH2-injected tumors was suppressed compared with that of phosphate-buffered saline-injected tumors. Moreover, the growth of contralateral tumor of RH2-treated mice was also suppressed significantly. The splenocytes of C3H mice treated with RH2 lysed more SCCVII cells than NFSaY83 cells and YAC-1 cells. The cytotoxicity of the splenocytes on SCCVII cells was significantly greater than that of splenocytes from tumor-bearing mice. Removal of CD8(+) T cells from splenocytes decreased their cell killing activity remarkably. The antitumor effect of RH2 on SCCVII xenografts in nude mice was not demonstrated. These results indicate that RH2 exhibited a suppressive effect on mouse SCC, even if the replication of RH2 was limited. This is ascribed to the ability of RH2 to enhance existing tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity.
