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.

Abstract

purposeTo determine whether abagovomab induces protective immune responses in ovarian cancer patients in first clinical remission. The present analysis is a substudy of monoclonal antibody immunotherapy for malignancies of the ovary by subcutaneous abagovomab trial (NCT00418574).

methodsThe study included 129 patients, 91 in the abagovomab arm and 38 in the placebo arm. Circulating CA125-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were measured by a flow cytometry-based interferon-γ producing assay. Human antimouse antibody and anti-anti-idiotypic (Ab3) were assessed by ELISA. Patients were evaluated before starting the treatment and at different time points during induction and maintenance phases.

resultsA similar percentage of patients in both the placebo and abagovomab arms had CA125-specific CTL (26.3 and 31.8 %, respectively; p = 0.673 by Fisher's exact test). Patients with CA125-specific CTL in both arms tended to have an increased relapse-free survival (RFS, log-rank test p = 0.095) compared to patients without. Patients (n = 27) in the abagovomab arm without CA125-specific CTL but that developed Ab3 above the cutoff (defined as median Ab3 level at week 22) had a prolonged RFS compared to patients (n = 24) that did not develop Ab3 above the cutoff (log-rank test p = 0.019).

conclusionAbagovomab does not induce CA125-specific CTL. However, patients with CA125-specific CTL perform better than patients without, irrespective of abagovomab treatment. Abagovomab-induced Ab3 associate with prolonged RFS in patients without CA125-specific CTL. Further studies are needed to confirm these data and to assess the potential utility of these immunological findings as a tool for patient selection in clinical trial.
