Immunotherapy Vaccines for Prostate Cancer Treatment.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundTherapeutic tumor vaccines have emerged as a compelling avenue for treating patients afflicted with advanced prostate cancer (PCa), particularly those experiencing biochemical relapse or ineligible for surgical intervention. This study serves to consolidate recent research findings on therapeutic vaccines targeting prostate tumors while delineating prevalent challenges within vaccine research and development.
methodsWe searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus, up to August 31, 2024, using keywords such as 'vaccine', 'prostate cancer', 'immunotherapy', and others. We reviewed studies on various therapeutic vaccines, including dendritic cell-based, antigen, nucleic acid, and tumor cell vaccines.
resultsStudies consistently showed that therapeutic vaccines, notably DC vaccines, had favorable safety profiles with few adverse effects. These vaccines, with varied antigenic formulations, demonstrated strong clinical outcomes, as indicated by metrics such as PSA response rates (9.5%-58%), extended PSA doubling times (52.9%-89.7%), overall survival durations (17.7-33.8 months), two-year mortality rates (0%-12.5%), biochemical relapse rates (42%-73%), and antigen-specific immune responses (33.3%-71.4% in responsive groups).
conclusionWhile clinical data for tumor vaccines have illuminated robust evidence of tumoricidal activity, the processes of their formulation and deployment are riddled with complexities. Combining vaccines with other therapies may enhance outcomes, and future research should focus on early interventions and deciphering the immune system's role in oncogenesis.
