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

The clinical success of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has demonstrated the promise and challenges of cancer immunotherapy. There is an unmet need to develop novel cancer therapies that can provide clinical benefit for most patients with solid malignancies, which harbor innate or acquired resistance to ICIs. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a promising cytokine for cancer therapy given its direct stimulatory effects on innate and adaptive immunity. However, unfavorable pharmacokinetics and a narrow therapeutic index render recombinant IL-12 (rIL-12) less attractive as a cancer therapy. NHS-IL12 is a fusion protein of IL-12 and NHS76 (human IgG1) antibody engineered to target single and double stranded DNA present in necrotic areas solid tumors. In preclinical tumor models, NHS-IL12 elicited significant Th1 immune activation and tumor suppressive effects, primarily mediated by NK and CD8
