Combination viroimmunotherapy with checkpoint inhibition to treat glioma, based on location-specific tumor profiling.
Article in Neuro-oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSystemic delivery of a complementary cDNA library expressed from the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) treats tumors by vaccinating against a wide range of tumor associated antigens (TAAs). For subcutaneous B16 melanomas, therapy was achieved using a specific combination of self-TAAs (neuroblastoma-Ras, cytochrome c, and tyrosinase-related protein 1) expressed from VSV. However, for intracranial B16 tumors, a different combination was therapeutic (consisting of VSV-expressed hypoxia-inducible factor [HIF]-2α, Sox-10, c-Myc, and tyrosinase-related protein 1). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that tumors of different histological types growing in the brain share a common immunogenic signature which can be exploited for immunotherapy.
methodsSyngeneic tumors, including GL261 gliomas, in the brains of immune competent mice were analyzed for their antigenic profiles or were treated with systemic viroimmunotherapy.
resultsSeveral different histological types of tumors growing intracranially, as well as freshly resected human brain tumor explants, expressed a HIF-2α(Hi) phenotype imposed by brain-derived CD11b+ cells. This location-specific antigen expression was exploited therapeutically against intracranial GL261 gliomas using systemically delivered VSV expressing HIF-2α, Sox-10, and c-Myc. Viroimmunotherapy was enhanced by immune checkpoint inhibitors, associated with the de-repression of antitumor T-helper cell type 1 (Th1) interferon-γ and Th17 T cell responses.
conclusionsSince different tumor types growing in the same location in the brain share a location-specific phenotype, we suggest that antigen-specific immunotherapies should be based upon expression of both histological type-specific tumor antigens and location-specific antigens. Our findings support clinical application of VSV-TAA therapy with checkpoint inhibition for aggressive brain tumors and highlight the importance of the intracranial microenvironment in sculpting a location-specific profile of tumor antigen expression.
