Plasma from some cancer patients inhibits adenoviral Ad5f35 vector transduction of dendritic cells.

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
backgroundPooled AB serum is often used as a media supplement for cell culture but it has the potential to transmit infectious diseases. To avoid this risk, we used autologous plasma as a media supplement for manufacturing dendritic cells (DCs) for cancer immunotherapy. We noticed inconsistencies in the DCs and investigated their nature and cause.
methodsAdenovirus human epidural growth factor receptor 2 (adHER2/neu) DCs for 21 patients were manufactured from autologous peripheral blood monocytes that were treated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4 for 3 days, transduced with Ad5f35HER2ECTM and then treated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon (IFN)-γ for 1 day. The cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with either 10% heat inactivated autologous or AB plasma.
resultsTwenty-eight adHER2/neu DCs were manufactured for 21 patients using autologous plasma and 68 were manufactured for 20 of those patients using AB plasma. The expression of human epidural growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) was less for DCs manufactured with autologous plasma (70.3 ± 33.3% versus 86.1 ± 22.8%; P <0.01). Manufacturing adHER2/neu DCs using monocytes from three healthy subjects and plasma from one patient with low HER2/neu expression (18%) resulted in low HER2/neu expression by all three DCs (13%, 16% and 23%). Analysis of the levels of 1322 proteins in eight plasma samples associated with low HER2/neu expression and in 12 associated with high HER2/neu expression revealed that the levels of 14 predicted HER2/neu transduction efficiency.
conclusionThe manufacture of adHER2/neu DC using autologous plasma as a media supplement resulted in inconsistent HER2/neu expression. It is likely that variability in the levels of multiple proteins in autologous plasma contributed to low HER2/neu expression.
