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 chemokine MIP3α (CCL20) binds to CCR6 on immature dendritic cells. Vaccines fusing MIP3α to gp100 have been shown to be effective in therapeutically reducing melanoma tumor burden and prolonging survival in a mouse model. Other studies have provided evidence that interleukin-10 (IL-10) neutralizing antibodies (αIL-10) enhance immunologic melanoma therapies by modulating the tolerogenic tumor microenvironment. In the current study, we have utilized the B16F10 syngeneic mouse melanoma model to demonstrate for the first time that a therapy neutralizing IL-10 enhances the antitumor efficacy of a MIP3α-gp100 DNA vaccine, leading to significantly smaller tumors, slower growing tumors, and overall increases in mouse survival. The additive effects of αIL-10 were not shown to be correlated to vaccine-specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), total TILs, or regulatory T cells. However, we discovered an upregulation of IFNα-4 transcripts in tumors and a correlation of increased plasmacytoid dendritic cell numbers with reduced tumor burden in αIL-10-treated mice. Interferon α receptor knockout (IFNαR1) mice received no benefit from αIL-10 treatment, demonstrating that the additional therapeutic value of αIL-10 is primarily mediated by type I IFNs. Efficient targeting of antigen to immature dendritic cells with a chemokine-fusion vaccine provides an effective anticancer therapeutic. Combining this approach with an IL-10 neutralizing antibody therapy enhances the antitumor efficacy of the therapy in a manner dependent upon the activity of type I IFNs. This combination of a vaccine and immunomodulatory agent provides direction for future optimization of a novel cancer vaccine therapy.
