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

Oncolytic viruses, including the oncolytic rhabdovirus VSV-GP tested here, selectively infect and kill cancer cells and are a promising new therapeutic modality. Our aim was to study the efficacy of VSV-GP, a vesicular stomatitis virus carrying the glycoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, against prostate cancer, for which current treatment options still fail to cure metastatic disease. VSV-GP was found to infect 6 of 7 prostate cancer cell lines with great efficacy. However, susceptibility was reduced in one cell line with low virus receptor expression and in 3 cell lines after interferon alpha treatment. Four cell lines had developed resistance to interferon type I at different levels of the interferon signaling pathway, resulting in a deficient antiviral response. In prostate cancer mouse models, long-term remission was achieved upon intratumoral and, remarkably, also upon intravenous treatment of subcutaneous tumors and bone metastases. These promising efficacy data demonstrate that treatment of prostate cancer with VSV-GP is feasible and safe in preclinical models and encourage further preclinical and clinical development of VSV-GP for systemic treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.
