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

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are effective in the treatment of metastatic melanoma (MM), but toxicity limits its application. TILT-123 (igrelimogene litadenorepvec) is an oncolytic adenovirus producing interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) upon replication. In this phase 1 trial, 17 patients with metastatic checkpoint inhibitor-resistant melanoma are treated with TILT-123 and TILs without preconditioning chemotherapy or postconditioning IL-2. The treatment is safe and feasible. According to computed tomography (CT), the objective response rate is 11.7% (2/17) and disease control is observed in 35% (6/17), including a partial response lasting >8 months and a durable complete response in a mucosal melanoma patient. According to positron emission tomography (PET), disease control is observed in 7/15 (47%) with minor or partial responses in 4/15 (27%). In the initial TILT-123 monotherapy phase of the trial, disease control is observed in 6/17 (35%) and 10/16 (63%) in CT and PET, respectively. The study demonstrates good tolerability and preliminary efficacy.
