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

In virotherapy, cancer cells are eradicated via viral infection, replication, and dissemination (oncolysis).

backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the oncolytic potential of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) against colon cancer and explore the immune response associated with its therapeutic effects.

methodsNDV was tested for its oncolytic potential in colon cancer cell lines using MTT assays and apoptosis assessments. Tumor-induced mice were treated with NDV, tumor cell lysate (TCL), or a combination of both. After the euthanasia of murine subjects, an assessment of oncolytic efficacy was performed through flow cytometry analysis of murine blood and tumor tissue, targeting CD83, CD86, CD8, and CD4. An ELISA was also performed to examine interferon-gamma levels, interleukin-4 levels, interleukin-12 levels, and interleukin-10 levels in serum and spleen homogenate.

resultsCell viability was low in HCT116 and HT-29, indicating a cytotoxic effect in the MTT assay. NDV+TCL recorded the highest rate of cell death (56.72%). NDV+TCL had accelerated cell death after 48 h, reaching 58.4%. The flow cytometry analysis of the blood and tumor of mice with induced tumor treated with combined treatment revealed elevated levels of CD83, CD86, CD8, and CD4 (76.3, 66.9, 83.7, and 14.4%, respectively). The ELISA levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-12 in serum and the spleen homogenate were elevated (107.6 ± 9.25 pg/mL). In contrast, the expression of IL-10 was significantly reduced (1 ± 0.79).
