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

Immunotherapy of advanced melanoma has encountered significant hurdles in terms of clinical efficacy. Here, we designed a clinically translatable hyaluronic acid (HA)-based vaccine delivering a combination of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I- and class II-restricted melanoma antigens (TRP2 and Gp100, respectively) conjugated to HA. HA-nanovaccine (HA-TRP2-Gp100 conjugate) exhibited tropism in the lymph nodes and promoted stimulation of the immune response (2.3-fold higher than the HA+TRP2+Gp100). HA-nanovaccine significantly delayed the growth of B16F10 melanoma and extended survival in both the prophylactic and therapeutic settings (median survival of 22 and 27, respectively, vs 17 days of the untreated group). Moreover, mice prophylactically treated with the HA-nanovaccine displayed significantly higher CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell/Treg ratios in both the spleen and tumor at day 16, suggesting that the HA-nanovaccine overcame the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Superior infiltration of active CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was observed at the endpoint. This study supports the conclusion that HA potentiates the effect of a combination of MHC I and MHC II antigens via a potent immune response against melanoma.
