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

backgroundTherapeutic goals for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) not amenable to operative cure are limited to relieving symptoms and slowing progression. Many malignancies acquire defective antiviral responses as they undergo unregulated proliferation. Therefore, we explored the abilities of recombinant wild-type vesicular stomatitis virus and an attenuated matrix protein mutant (M51R-VSV) to exploit defective antiviral pathways in NETs.

methodsViral infectivity and lethality were evaluated in a panel of human NET cell lines H727, UMC-11, and CNDT2.5. We evaluated β-interferon pathways in these cells to define the acquired defect. Murine xenografts were treated with a single intratumoral injection of M51R-VSV to study viral efficacy in vivo.

resultsVSV infected >99% of cells within 24 hours and killed >95% within 72 hours. NET cells did not produce relevant amounts of β-interferon after infection, but exogenous β-interferon protected cells from oncolysis. Treatment with M51R-VSV resulted in suppressed tumor growth (mean value ± standard error of the mean) compared with mock-infected xenografts for H727 (87 ± 72% vs. 2,197 ± 335%; P < .001), UMC-11 (13 ± 59% vs. 1,471 ± 324%; P < .001), and CNDT2.5 (81 ± 121% vs. 1,576 ± 349%; P = .001).

conclusionVSV infects and kills human NETs by exploiting their inability to produce a type I antiviral response. Therefore, M51R-VSV is an excellent candidate for the treatment of advanced NETs.
