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

Stem cells are emerging sources of antigens for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we used TNG-A mouse embryonic stem cells to trigger an anticancer response against tumors derived from E0771 mouse breast cancer cells, possibly mediated by the mouse immune system. TNG-A cells were cultured in the presence or absence of two specific kinase inhibitors. While the inhibitors preserved TNG-A pluripotency, their removal altered the morphology, transcriptome, and proteome of TNG-A cells, increasing their similarities with E0771 cancer cells. Double pre-exposure by subcutaneous injection of TNG-A cells followed by E0771 implantation drastically decreased E0771-derived tumor size in mice. Serum cytokine quantifications suggested a transient immune reaction associated with tumor regression. Nevertheless, pre-exposure to TNG-A cells impaired for the tight junction protein Claudin 6 failed to decrease tumor size. Our findings demonstrate the anti-tumor effects of embryonic stem cells and anticipate their potential as an allogenic source for cancer immunotherapy.
