Blockade of IL-10 Signaling Ensures Mifamurtide Efficacy in Metastatic Osteosarcoma.
Article in Cancers, 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
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignancy of the bone, highly aggressive and metastasizing, and it mainly affects children and adolescents. The current standard of care for OS is a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. However, these treatment options are not always successful, especially in cases of metastatic or recurrent osteosarcomas. For this reason, research into new therapeutic strategies is currently underway, and immunotherapies have received considerable attention. Mifamurtide stands out among the most studied immunostimulant drugs; nevertheless, there are very conflicting opinions on its therapeutic efficacy. Here, we aimed to investigate mifamurtide efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Our results led us to identify a new possible target useful to improve mifamurtide effectiveness on metastatic OS: the cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). We provide experimental evidence that the synergic use of an anti-IL-10 antibody in combination with mifamurtide causes a significantly increased mortality rate in highest-grade OS cells and lower metastasis in an in vivo model compared with mifamurtide alone. Overall, our data suggest that mifamurtide in combination with an anti-IL-10 antibody could be proposed as a new treatment protocol to be studied to improve the outcomes of OS patients.
