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

aimsTo determine whether using a pH-sensitive peptide (CBX-15) for antigen-independent targeting of MMAE to tumors induced anti-tumor efficacy via direct and immunological mechanisms in the rat tumor model.

methodsCBX-15 was assessed for its ability to kill tumor cells and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in female Fischer rats bearing syngeneic 13762 mammary adenocarcinoma tumors via

resultsCBX-15 demonstrated efficacy, safety and anti-tumor immunologic memory, demonstrated by the ability of both CBX-15-cured and vaccinated rats to reject further tumor challenge. Responding rats exhibited the induction of ICD-induced immunomodulatory activity, including recognition of tumor cells

conclusionCBX-15 eradicates tumors by a combination of both direct cytotoxic action of MMAE as well as through the induction of ICD, the latter of which results in long term anti-tumor immunological memory. To our knowledge, this is the first work demonstrating both anti-tumor efficacy and induction of long-term anti-tumor immune memory by a tumor-selective drug in the rat, the species used for preclinical toxicological evaluation. This study provides a strong justification for exploring combination therapies with CBX-15 and other immunomodulators.
