Intratumoral neoadjuvant immunotherapy based on the BO-112 viral RNA mimetic.
Article in Oncoimmunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BO-112 is a poly I:C-based viral mimetic that exerts anti-tumor efficacy when intratumorally delivered in mouse models. Intratumoral BO-112 synergizes in mice with systemic anti-PD-1 mAbs and this combination has attained efficacy in PD1-refractory melanoma patients. We sought to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of BO-112 pre-surgically applied in neoadjuvant settings to mouse models. We have observed that repeated intratumoral injections of BO-112 prior to surgical excision of the primary tumor significantly reduced tumor metastasis from orthotopically implanted 4T1-derived tumors and subcutaneous MC38-derived tumors in mice. Such effects were enhanced when combined with systemic anti-PD-1 mAb. The anti-tumor efficacy of this neoadjuvant immunotherapy approach depended on the presence of antigen-specific effector CD8 T cells and cDC1 antigen-presenting cells. Since BO-112 has been successful in phase-two clinical trials for metastatic melanoma, these results provide a strong rationale for translating this pre-surgical strategy into clinical settings, especially in combination with standard-of-care checkpoint inhibitors.
