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

backgroundDendritic cell (DC) vaccine is a promising immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via triggering antigen-specific anti-tumor immunity. Hypoxia contributes to higher level and broader spectrum of antigen expression in tumor cells.

methodsThis study aims to compare immunological activity and therapeutic efficacy between hypoxic and normoxic HCC cell line lysate-pulsed DC vaccines.

resultsThe results showed that hypoxic HCC cell line lysate-pulsed DC vaccines exhibited a stronger activity in producing interleukin-12 and promoting T cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in vitro. In HCC mice, hypoxic HCC cell line lysate-pulsed DC vaccines displayed a better efficacy in improving survival time and tumor volume and inducing intratumoral cytotoxic T cell infiltration and activation as well as tumor cell apoptosis. Adenylate kinase 4-derived antigens were important for hypoxic HCC cell line lysate-pulsed DC vaccine-elicited T cell killing.

conclusionsIn conclusion, this study demonstrated hypoxic HCC cell line lysate-pulsed DC vaccine as a potential therapeutic strategy for HCC.
