Review in Pharmacological research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States despite an array of available treatment options. Current standard-of-care interventions for this malignancy include surgical resection, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies depending on the disease stage. Specifically, infusion of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents in combination with chemotherapy was an important development in improving the survival of patients with advanced colorectal cancer, while also helping give rise to other forms of anti-angiogenic therapies. Yet, one approach by which tumor angiogenesis may be further disrupted is through the administration of a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine targeting tumor-derived blood vessels, leading to cytotoxic immune responses that decrease tumor growth and synergize with other systemic therapies. Early generations of such vaccines exhibited protection against various forms of cancer in pre-clinical models, but clinical results have historically been disappointing. Sipuleucel-T (Provenge®) was the first, and to-date, only dendritic cell-based therapy to receive FDA approval after significantly increasing overall survival in prostate cancer patients. The unparalleled success of Sipuleucel-T has helped revitalize the clinical development of dendritic cell vaccines, which will be examined in this review. We also highlight the promise of these vaccines to instill anti-angiogenic immunity for individuals with advanced colorectal cancer.
