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

Adult and pediatric high-grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive cancers of the central nervous system that confer dismal clinical prognoses. Standard radiation and chemotherapy have demonstrated only limited efficacy in HGGs, motivating the accelerated investigation of novel modalities such as oncolytic virus (OV) therapies. OV centered therapies work through a mixed mechanism centered on oncolysis and the stimulation of an antitumor immune response. Three recent clinical trials utilizing herpes simplex virus-1 and adenovirus-based oncolytic virotherapy demonstrated not only the safety and efficacy of OVs but also novel dosing strategies that augment OV response potential. Considering these recent trials, herein we present a roadmap for future clinical trials of oncolytic immunovirotherapy in both adult and pediatric HGG, as well as persistent roadblocks related to the assessment of OV efficacy within and between trials.
