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

backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors induce robust and durable responses in advanced bladder cancer (BC), but only for a subset of patients. Xenovaccination has been proposed as an effective immunotherapeutic approach to induce anti-tumor immunity. Thus, we proposed a novel intravesical xenogeneic urothelial cell immunotherapy strategy to treat advanced BC based on the hypothesis that implanted xenogeneic urothelial cells not only provoke xeno-rejection immune responses but also elicit bystander anti-tumor immunity.

methodsMouse advanced bladder cancer models were treated with vehicle control, intravesical xenogeneic urothelial cells, cisplatin + gemcitabine, or the combination and assessed for tumor responses to treatments. Tumors and spleens samples were collected for immunohistological staining, cellular and molecular analysis assessed by antibody staining, ELISA, cytotoxicity, and flow cytometry, respectively.

resultsThe combination treatment of xenogeneic urothelial cell immunotherapy with chemotherapy was more efficacious than either single therapy to extend survival time in MBT-2 graft bladder tumor model and to suppress tumor progression in murine carcinogen BBN-induced bladder tumor model. The single-cell immunotherapy and combined therapy increased more tumor-infiltrating immune cells in MBT-2 graft tumors compared to vehicle control and chemotherapy treatment groups. The activated T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxicity capacities were also higher in mice with xenogeneic urothelial cell immunotherapy and combination treatments.

conclusionsOur results suggest the potential for a novel xenogeneic urothelial cell-based immunotherapy alone and synergy with chemotherapy in the combination therapy. Therefore, our study supports developing xenogeneic urothelial cells as an immunotherapeutic agent in combination with chemotherapy for BC treatment.
