Immunotherapy with autologous dendritic cells in the complex treatment of malignant gliomas - results.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
annotationMalignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor. Despite the variety of modern treatments, it is still a fatal disease with an extremely poor prognosis. The use of immunotherapy as a technique for the treatment of malignant tumors has great promise, retraining and exploiting the patient's immune response against tumors.
objectiveEvaluation of the effectiveness of dendritic cell vaccine in patients with malignant brain gliomas in the structure of complex treatment in comparison with the control group of patients without immunotherapy in the structure of treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a single-center, prospective, cohort study, taking place on the basis of the RNSI named after prof. A.L. Polenov, 91 patients with morphologically established malignant glial tumor (glioblastoma) took part. The main group of 41 patients who, in addition to standard treatment (surgical, radiation and chemotherapy), underwent specific antitumor immunotherapy. 50 patients received only standard treatment, without immunotherapy.
resultsMedian survival was 21.7 months in the immunotherapy group (95% CI 4-37 months) and 15.8 months (95% CI 3-22 months) in the non-immunotherapy group (p = 0.002). The median relapse-free period in the group with immunotherapy was 13.8 months (95% CI 1-20 months), and in the group without immunotherapy 7.9 months (95% CI 1-12 months) (p = 0.003).
conclusionIn general, the use of immunotherapy in the structure of complex treatment of patients with malignant gliomas demonstrates a clear positive trend in terms of overall survival and median relapse-free period. But nevertheless, immunotherapy requires further development as a therapeutic tool, study and improvement, which will take into account immunosuppression in malignant gliomas and means of overcoming it, optimization in terms of target antigen selection, cell preparation and integration of dendritic vaccines into other treatment regimens.
