Perioperative oncolytic virotherapy to counteract surgery-induced immunosuppression and improve outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a high fatality cancer with one of the worst prognoses in solid tumors. Most patients present with late stage, metastatic disease and are not eligible for potentially curative surgery. Despite complete resection, the majority of surgical patients will recur within the first two years following surgery. Postoperative immunosuppression has been described in different digestive cancers. While the underlying mechanism is not fully understood, there is compelling evidence to link surgery with disease progression and cancer metastasis in the postoperative period. However, the idea of surgery-induced immunosuppression as a facilitator of recurrence and metastatic spread has not been explored in the context of pancreatic cancer. By surveying the existing literature on surgical stress in mostly digestive cancers, we propose a novel practice-changing paradigm: alleviate surgery-induced immunosuppression and improve oncological outcome in PDAC surgical patients by administering oncolytic virotherapy in the perioperative period.
