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

V937 is an oncolytic virus immunotherapy clinical drug candidate consisting of a proprietary formulation of Coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21). V937 specifically binds to and lyses cells with over-expressed ICAM-1 receptors in a range of tumor cell types and is currently in phase I and II clinical trials. Infectious V937 particles consist of a ∼30 nm icosahedral capsid assembled from four structural viral proteins that encapsidate a viral RNA genome. Rapid and robust analytical methods to quantify and characterize CVA21 virus particles are important to support the process development, regulatory requirements, and validation of new manufacturing platforms. Herein, we describe a size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) method that was developed to characterize the V937 drug substance and process intermediates. Using a 4-in-1 combination of multi-detectors (UV, refractive index, dynamic and static light scattering), we demonstrate the use of SEC for the quantification of the virus particle count, the determination of virus size (molecular weight and hydrodynamic diameter), and the characterization of virus purity by assessing empty-to-full capsid ratios. Through a SEC analysis of stressed V937 samples, we propose CVA21 thermal degradation pathways that result in genome release and particle aggregation.
