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

In addition to direct oncolysis, oncolytic viruses (OVs) also induce antitumor immunity, also called viro-immunotherapy. Limited viral replication and immune-negative feedback are the major hurdles to effective viro-immunotherapy. In this study, we found that use of an adjuvant of fludarabine, a chemotherapeutic drug for chronic myeloid leukemia, increased the replication of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) by targeting signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), which led to enhanced oncolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Moreover, fludarabine accelerated ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation by enhancing ubiquitylation rather than proteasomal activity. This resulted in accelerated degradation of phosphorylated STAT3 and indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), whose expression was induced by NDV infection. In addition, fludarabine significantly increased the NDV-induced infiltration of NK cells and decreased the number of NDV-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment. The aforementioned effects of fludarabine significantly improved NDV-mediated antitumor immunity and prolonged survival in mouse model of HCC. Our findings indicate the utility of fludarabine as an adjuvant for oncolytic anticancer viro-immunotherapy.
