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

purpose of reviewGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults with a dismal prognosis despite aggressive multimodal management thus novel treatments are urgently needed. Gene therapy is a versatile treatment strategy being investigated in multiple cancers including GBM. In gene therapy, a variety of vectors or "carriers" are used to deliver genes designed for different anti-tumoral effects. Gene delivery vehicles and approaches to treatment will be addressed in this review. RECENT

findingsThe most commonly studied vectors are viral based, however, driven by advances in biomedical engineering, mesenchymal and neural stem cells, as well as multiple different types of nanoparticles have been developed to improve tumor tropism and also increase gene transfer into tumor cells. Different genes have been studied including suicide genes, which convert non-toxic prodrug into cytotoxic drug; immunomodulatory genes, which stimulate the immune system; and tumor suppressor genes which repair the defect that allow cells to divide unchecked. Gene therapy may be a promising treatment strategy in neuro-oncology as it is versatile and flexible due to the ability to tailor vectors and genes for specific therapeutic activity. Pre-clinical studies and clinical trials have demonstrated feasibility and safety of gene therapy; however, further studies are required to determine efficacy.
