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

backgroundWe set out to determine if the administration of subcutaneous (SQ) ALT-803 was non-inferior to standard intravesical BCG treatment in a carcinogen induced mouse (C57BL/6J) bladder cancer model.

methodsUsing this well-established carcinogen induced mouse model, we studied the effects of various dosing schemas of ALT-803 (SQ alone, SQ with intravesical BCG, intravesical alone, intravesical with intravesical BCG) compared to intravesical BCG alone (positive control) and PBS (negative control). The non-inferiority margin for the difference in bladder weight, as a surrogate for tumor mass, was defined as 7%.

resultsAll treatment groups (i.e., ALT-803 SQ alone, ALT-803 SQ with intravesical BCG, ALT-803 intravesical alone, ALT-803 intravesical with intravesical BCG and intravesical BCG alone) demonstrated a significant reduction in tumor burden as evident by bladder weights and H&E stain (p < 0.005). Non-inferiority tests between the intravesical BCG alone group and the additional treatment groups showed that SQ ALT-803 alone (p = 0.04) and BCG plus SQ ALT-803 (p = 0.009) were non-inferior to intravesical BCG alone. In this model, we did not see an appreciable infiltration of CD4

conclusionSubcutaneous ALT-803 treatment alone or in combination with intravesical BCG was well tolerated and was not inferior to intravesical BCG alone. CD8
