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

In previous studies oncolytic measles viruses (MVs) have shown significant antitumor activity against various tumors. In our research recombinant MV-Hu191 (rMV-Hu191), established via reverse genetics technology and expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), was evaluated for its therapeutic effects and related mechanisms against nephroblastoma cell lines. We built three different constructs based on rMV-Hu191 to express EGFP effectively. Our experiments showed that rMV-Hu191 expressing EGFP could efficiently infect and replicate in nephroblastoma cell lines. Caspase-induced apoptosis exerted a significant impact on MV-induced cell death, which was accompanied by emission of cellular ATP and high-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) and by translocation of calreticulin (CRT). Intratumoral injection of rMV-Hu191-EGFP resulted in significant regression of tumors in a G401 xenograft model. Our results indicate that the MV-Hu191 strain, which is widely used in China, is an appropriate vector for expression of foreign genes and could serve as a potentially good candidate for nephroblastoma therapy mediated by induction of apoptosis-associated immunogenic cell death (ICD).
