Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Feasibility of Intratumoral Radiofrequency Hyperthermia-enhanced Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Gene Therapy.
Article in Radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Purpose To validate the feasibility and efficacy of intratumoral radiofrequency hyperthermia (RFH)-enhanced herpes simplex virus (HSV) thymidine kinase (TK) and ganciclovir (GCV) (hereafter, HSV-TK/GCV) gene therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods This study was performed from November 11, 2015, to April 14, 2017, and included (a) in vitro experiments with human NSCLC cells to establish the proof of principle, (b) in vivo experiments using mice with subcutaneous NSCLC to further demonstrate the principle, and (c) in vivo experiments using rats with orthotopic NSCLC to validate the technical feasibility. Cells, nude mice, and nude rats were randomly divided into four groups (six animals per group): (a) combination therapy (HSV-TK/GCV combined with RFH), (b) RFH, (c) HSV-TK/GCV, and (d) phosphate-buffered saline. Data were analyzed by using the Dunnett t test or Kruskal-Wallis test. Results For in vitro experiments, the cell proliferation assay showed significantly diminished viable cells with combination therapy (mean, 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44, 0.68) versus RFH (mean, 0.89; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.97), HSV-TK/GCV (mean, 0.71; 95% CI: 0.56, 0.86), and phosphate-buffered saline (mean, 1; 95% CI: 1, 1) (P < .05 for all). For in vivo experiments, optical imaging showed significantly decreased relative bioluminescence signal with combination therapy (mean, 0.71 [95% CI: 0.03, 1.39] in mice; 1.29 [95% CI: 0.51, 2.06] in rats) compared with RFH (mean, 2.66 [95% CI: 1.73, 3.59] in mice; 2.26 [95% CI: 1.51, 3.01] in rats), HSV-TK/GCV (mean, 1.37 [95% CI: 0.65, 2.08] in mice; 1.76 [95% CI: 1.20, 2.31] in rats), and phosphate-buffered saline (mean, 3.07 [95% CI: 2.50, 3.65] in mice; 2.94 [95% CI: 2.29, 3.58] in rats) (P < .001 for all). US showed that the smallest relative tumor volumes occurred with combination therapy (mean, 0.60; 95% CI: 0.15, 1.05) versus RFH (mean, 2.43; 95% CI: 1.80, 3.06), HSV-TK/GCV (mean, 1.32; 95% CI: 0.75, 1.89), and phosphate-buffered saline (mean, 2.56; 95% CI: 1.75, 3.38) (P < .05 for all) in the mouse subcutaneous model. Conclusion Intratumoral radiofrequency hyperthermia-enhanced herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase and ganciclovir gene therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer is feasible and can be guided by molecular imaging. © RSNA, 2018.
