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

backgroundPancreatic cancer has a complex immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which is highly resistant to conventional therapies and emerging cancer immunotherapies. Oncolytic viruses are multifaceted killers of malignant tumors, which can selectively infect, replicate in and lyse tumor cells, release tumor-associated antigens to stimulate specific antitumor immune responses, and recruit immune cells into the TME, turning "cold" tumors "hot". Here, we report a novel

methodsA novel oncolytic VV with deletion of the TK, N1L, and A41L genes, and expression of the red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene (VVL-TD-RFP) was constructed using CRISPR-Cas9-based homologous recombination. This virus was armed with IL-27, creating VVL-TD-IL-27. The characteristics of these viruses were evaluated

resultsVVL-TD-RFP cured 71.4% of tumor-bearing mice, compared with 14.3% of animals treated with VVLΔTKΔN1L that does not have an A41L gene deletion. Efficacy was mainly dependent on elevated dendritic cell (DC) populations, activation of DC, CD86

conclusionsVVL-TD-mIL-27 is a potential immunotherapy agent for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and a clinical study of this virus is warranted.
