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

unlabelledActive specific immunotherapy of cancer requires an efficient induction and effector phase. The induction covers potent activation of anti-tumor response, whereas effector breaks the immunosuppression. We report efficacy of therapeutic melanoma vaccine (AGI-101H) used alone in advanced disease as a candidate for further combined treatment. In adjuvant setting in patients with resected metastases AGI-101H combined with surgery of recurring disease demonstrated long-term survival. Seventy-seven patients with nonresectable melanoma (8% IIIB, 21% IIIC, 71% IV) were enrolled. AGI-101H was administered 8× every 2 weeks, and then every month. At progression, maintenance was continued or induction was repeated and followed by maintenance. Median follow-up was 139.3 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 17.3 months; in patients with WHO 0-1 was 20.3 months. Complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) were observed in 19.4% and 9% of pts. Disease control rate was 54.5% of pts. The median CR+PR duration was 32 months. Reinduction was performed in 36.3% patients following disease progression with 46.6% of CR+PR. No grade 3/4 adverse events were observed. Treatment with AGI-101H of melanoma patients is safe and effective. AGI-101H is a good candidate for combinatorial treatment with immune check-points inhibitors or tumor hypoxia normalizators.
