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

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is higher in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) compared to other subtypes and is reported to predict incidence of distant metastases and shorter overall survival. We investigated the therapeutic impact of a vaccinia virus (VACV) GLV-1h164 (derived from its parent virus GLV-1h100), encoding a single-chain antibody (scAb) against VEGF (GLAF-2) in an orthotopic TNBC murine model. GLV-1h164 was tested against multiple TNBC cell lines. Viral infectivity, cytotoxicity, and replication were determined. Mammary fat pad tumors were generated in athymic nude mice using MDA-MB-231 cells. Xenografts were treated with GLV-1h164, GLV-1h100, or PBS and followed for tumor growth. Viral infectivity was time- and concentration-dependent. GLV-1h164 killed TNBC cell lines in a dose-dependent fashion with greater than 90% cytotoxicity within 4 days at a multiplicity of infection of 5.0. In vitro, cytotoxicity of GLV-1h164 was identical to GLV-1h100. GLV-1h164 replicated efficiently in all cell lines with an over 400-fold increase in copy numbers from the initial viral dose within 4 days. In vivo, mean tumor volumes after 2 weeks of treatment were 73, 191, and 422 mm(3) (GLV-1h164, GLV-1h100, and PBS, respectively) (p < 0.05). Both in vivo Doppler ultrasonography and immuno-staining showed decreased neo-angiogenesis in GLV-1h164-treated tumors compared to both GLV-1h100 and PBS controls (p < 0.05). This is the first study to demonstrate efficient combination of oncolytic and anti-angiogenic activity of a novel VACV on TNBC xenografts. Our results suggest that GLV-1h164 is a promising therapeutic agent that warrants testing for patients with TNBC.
