Genetically Modified DR5-Specific TRAIL Variant DR5-B Revealed Dual Antitumor and Protumoral Effect in Colon Cancer Xenografts and an Improved Pharmacokinetic Profile.
Article in Translational oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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 the weak clinical efficacy of TRAIL death receptor agonists, a search is under way for new agents that more efficiently activate apoptotic signaling. We previously created a TRAIL DR5-selective variant DR5-B without affinity for the DR4, DcR1, DcR2, and OPG receptors and increased proapoptotic activity in tumor cells. Here we showed that DR5-B significantly inhibited tumor growth in HCT116 and Caco-2 but not in HT-29 xenografts. The antitumor activity of DR5-B was 2.5 times higher in HCT116 xenografts compared to TRAIL. DR5-B at a dose of 2 or 10 mg/kg/d for 10 days inhibited tumor growth in HCT116 xenografts by 26% or 50% respectively, and increased animal survival. Unexpectedly, DR5-B at a higher dose (25 mg/kg/d) inhibited tumor growth only during the first 8 days of drug exposure, while at the end of the monitoring, no effect or even slight stimulation of tumor growth was observed. The pharmacokinetic parameters of DR5-B were comparable to those of TRAIL, except that the half-life was 3.5 times higher. Thus, enhancing TRAIL selectivity to DR5 may increase both antitumor and proliferative activities depending on the concentration and administration regimens.
