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

Concepts in tumour immunology are changing fundamentally. Around 1970 tumour immunology contained the following related concepts: Thousands of tumour cells arise de novo each day. Tumour cells are antigenic in their host. All these antigenic tumour cells are killed by a strong immune surveillance system. A more likely set of concepts looks as follows: Tumour cells do not arise frequently. Tumour cells may be antigenic or not. There is no need to postulate a very strong immune surveillance or natural resistance system. In this paper I am reviewing our present knowledge of immune surveillance and natural resistance. Only scanty information appears to be available. This information suggests that virally induced tumours are usually killed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells, whereas immune surveillance and natural resistance against other tumours may be quite weak.
