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

NHS-IL12 is a novel immunocytokine designed for delivery of IL-12 to the tumor microenvironment (TME). NHS-IL12 consists of two molecules of IL-12 fused to a human IgG1 (NHS76) recognizing DNA/histone complexes, which are often exposed in the necrotic portions of tumors. Preclinical studies demonstrated the tumor-targeting ability and longer plasma half-life for NHS-IL12 when compared with recombinant IL-12 (rIL-12). NHS-IL12 outperformed rIL-12 in enhancing the proliferation and activation of immune as well as antigen-presenting cells, resulting in a more robust primary immune response. NHS-IL12 also reduced the number and function of suppressive myeloid cells (myeloid derived suppressor cells/macrophages) within the TME. In a murine bladder tumor model, NHS-IL12 administration led to a coordinated increase in host immunity with a reduction of immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the TME resulting in substantial reduction in tumor growth. Several preclinical studies have demonstrated increased overall anti-tumor efficacy when NHS-IL12 was combined with either immune-based therapeutics or chemotherapeutic approaches.
