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

An effective therapy regimen for relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) includes the anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody, dinutuximab, in combination with temozolomide and irinotecan, supporting a role for chemo-immunotherapy in NB. γδ T cells are an attractive anti-tumor immunotherapy because of their direct cytotoxic activity mediated through cell surface receptors NKG2D and CD16. NKG2D facilitates the innate recognition of stress-induced ligands whereas CD16 recognizes antibody bound to tumors and activates mechanisms of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). This study demonstrates an efficient method for expanding and storing γδ T cells from NB patient-derived apheresis products at clinically relevant amounts. The expanded patient-derived γδ T cells were cytotoxic against the K562 cell line and multiple NB cell lines. Combining γδ T cells with dinutuximab led to a 30% increase in tumor cell lysis compared to γδ T cells alone. Furthermore, low-dose temozolomide in combination with expanded γδ T cells and dinutuximab resulted in increased IFNγ secretion and increased γδ T-cell surface expression of FasL and CD107a. IMR5 NB cell line xenografts established subcutaneously in NSG mice were treated with a regimen of dinutuximab, temozolomide, and γδ T cells. This combination caused targeted killing of NB xenografts in vivo, reducing tumor burden and prolonging survival. These data support the continued preclinical testing of dinutuximab and temozolomide in conjunction with γδ T-cell immunotherapy for patients with recurrent/refractory NB.
