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 multifaceted immunomodulatory activity of DNA hypomethylating agents improves immunogenicity and immune recognition of neoplastic cells; thus, we predicted they could be utilized to design new immunotherapeutic combinations in cancer. Testing this hypothesis, the antitumor efficacy of the DNA hypomethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR) combined with the anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 9H10 in syngeneic transplantable murine models was investigated. Murine mammary carcinoma TS/A or mesothelioma AB1 cells were injected in BALB/c, athymic nude, and SCID/Beige mice that were treated with 5-AZA-CdR, mAb 9H10, or their combination. Tumor volumes were captured at different time-points; molecular and immunohistochemical assays investigated changes in neoplastic and normal tissues. A significant antitumor effect of 5-AZA-CdR combined with mAb 9H10 was found: compared to controls, a 77% (
