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

The anti-apoptotic function and tumor-associated expression of heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) is consistent with HSP70 functioning as a survival factor to promote tumorigenesis. However, its immunomodulatory activities to induce anti-tumor immunity predict the suppression of tumor growth. Using the Hsp70.1/3(-/-)(Hsp70(-/-)) mouse model, we observed that tumor-derived HSP70 was neither required for cellular transformation nor for in vivo tumor growth. Hsp70(-/-) murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were transformed by E1A/Ras and generated tumors in immunodeficient hosts as efficiently as wild-type (WT) transformants. Comparison of Bcr-Abl-mediated transformation of WT and Hsp70(-/-) bone marrow and progression of B-cell leukemogenesis in vivo revealed no differences in disease onset or survival rates, and Eμ-Myc-driven lymphoma in Hsp70(-/-) mice was phenotypically indistinguishable from that in WT Eμ-Myc mice. However, Hsp70(-/-) E1A/Ras MEFs generated significantly larger tumors than their WT counterparts in C57BL/6 J immune-competent hosts. Concurrent with this was a reduction in intra-tumoral infiltration of innate and adaptive immune cells, including macrophages and CD8(+) T cells. Evaluation of several potential mechanisms revealed an HSP70-chemokine-like activity to promote cellular migration. These observations support a role for tumor-derived HSP70 in facilitating anti-tumor immunity to limit tumor growth and highlight the potential consequences of anti-HSP70 therapy as an efficacious anti-cancer strategy.
