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

Malignant gliomas, the most lethal type of primary brain tumor, continue to be a major therapeutic challenge. Here, we found that enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) can be developed as a novel oncolytic agent against malignant gliomas. EV-A71 preferentially infected and killed malignant glioma cells relative to normal glial cells. The virus receptor human scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2), and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced protein 1 (PMAIP1)-mediated cell death were involved in EV-A71-induced oncolysis. In mice with implanted subcutaneous gliomas, intraneoplastic inoculation of EV-A71 caused significant tumor growth inhibition. Furthermore, in mice bearing intracranial orthotopic gliomas, intraneoplastic inoculation of EV-A71 substantially prolonged survival. By insertion of brain-specific microRNA-124 (miR124) response elements into the viral genome, we improved the tumor specificity of EV-A71 oncolytic therapy by reducing its neurotoxicity while maintaining its replication potential and oncolytic capacity in gliomas. Our study reveals that EV-A71 is a potent oncolytic agent against malignant gliomas and may have a role in treating this tumor in the clinical setting.
