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

Melanoma is the main cause of death among skin cancers and its incidence worldwide has been experiencing an appalling increase. However, traditional treatments lack effectiveness in advanced or metastatic patients. Immunotherapy, meanwhile, has been shown to be an effective treatment option, but the rate of cancers responding remains far from ideal. Here we have developed a personalized neoantigen peptide-based cancer vaccine by encapsulating patient derived melanoma neoantigens in polyethylenimine (PEI)-functionalised poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) and coating them with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). We found that PLGA NPs can be effectively modified to be coated with the immunoadjuvant poly(I:C), as well as to encapsulate neoantigens. In addition, we found that both dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphocytes were effectively stimulated. Moreover, the developed NP was found to have a better immune activation profile than NP without poly(I:C) or without antigen. Our results demonstrate that the developed vaccine has a high capacity to activate the immune system, efficiently maturing DCs to present the antigen of choice and promoting the activity of lymphocytes to exert their cytotoxic function. Therefore, the immune response generated is optimal and specific for the elimination of melanoma tumour cells.
