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

purposeA major hurdle in the advancement of cell-based cancer immunotherapies is the inability to track in vivo therapeutic cell migration. With respect to dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer immunotherapies, this lack of knowledge represents an even greater hurdle as the quantity of tumor-antigen specific DC reaching a secondary lymphoid organ post injection is predictive of the magnitude of the ensuing tumor-specific immune response. We propose fluorine-19 (F-19) cellular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a suitable and non-invasive imaging modality capable of detecting and quantifying DC migration in vivo and thus, serving as a surrogate marker of DC-based immunotherapeutic effectiveness. PROCEDURES: Murine DC were generated from bone marrow precursors and labeled with a [

resultsCulture conditions were optimized such that > 90 % of DC labeled with PFC without affecting viability, phenotype, and function. This optimization permitted consistent detection of PFC-labeled DC migration using F-19 cellular MRI and resulted in the first successful comparison of in vivo migration between PFC-labeled and control unlabeled therapeutic cells of the same origin. PFC-labeled DC are migration-competent in vivo in a B16-F10 tumor-bearing mouse model.

conclusionsWe report a non-invasive and longitudinal imaging modality capable of detecting and quantifying therapeutic cell migration at both 9.4 and 3 Tesla (T) and suitable for therapeutic cell tracking in a tumor-bearing mouse model. F-19 MRI cell tracking is broadly applicable across disease states and is conducive to clinical translation.
