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

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate expression of multiple genes. MiR-193a-3p functions as a tumor suppressor in many cancer types, but its effect on inducing specific anti-tumor immune responses is unclear. Therefore, we examined the effect of our lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulated, chemically modified, synthetic miR-193a-3p mimic (INT-1B3) on anti-tumor immunity. INT-1B3 inhibited distant tumor metastasis and significantly prolonged survival. INT-1B3-treated animals were fully protected against challenge with autologous tumor cells even in absence of treatment indicating long-term immunization. Protection against autologous tumor cell challenge was hampered upon T cell depletion and adoptive T cell transfer abrogated tumor growth. Transfection of tumor cells with our miR-193a-3p mimic (1B3) resulted in tumor cell death and apoptosis accompanied by increased expression of DAMPs. Co-culture of 1B3-transfected tumor cells and immature DC led to DC maturation and these mature DC were able to stimulate production of type 1 cytokines by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. CD4-CD8- T cells also produced type 1 cytokines, even in response to 1B3-transfected tumor cells directly. Live cell imaging demonstrated PBMC-mediated cytotoxicity against 1B3-transfected tumor cells. These data demonstrate for the first time that miR-193a-3p induces long-term immunity against tumor development via modulation of the tumor microenvironment and induction of immunogenic cell death.
