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

Despite its anticipated clinical potential, anti-PD-1 immunotherapy has only yielded poor outcomes in recent clinical trials for glioblastoma patients. Strategies combining anti-PD-1 antibody with other treatment modalities are being explored to alter the immunosuppressive microenvironment that appears to characterize these anti-PD-1-insensitive tumors. Here, we evaluated whether introducing wild-type p53 gene via a tumor-targeting nanomedicine (termed SGT-53) could provide immune stimulation and augment anti-PD-1 therapy in mouse syngeneic GL261 tumor models (either subcutaneous or intracranial). In both models, anti-PD-1 monotherapy had no demonstrable therapeutic effect. However, combining anti-PD-1 with our investigational nanomedicine SGT-53 was very effective in inhibiting tumor growth, inducing tumor cell apoptosis and increasing intratumoral T-cell infiltration. A significant survival benefit was observed in mice bearing intracranial glioblastoma receiving combination treatment. Importantly, SGT-53 upregulated PD-L1 expression both in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptome analysis revealed modulation of genes linked to either cancer progression or immune activation after combination treatment. Our data suggest that SGT-53 can boost antitumor immunity and sensitize glioblastoma to anti-PD-1 therapy by converting immunologically "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors. Combining SGT-53 with anti-PD-1 might benefit more patients from anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and our data support evaluation of this combination in patients with glioblastoma.
