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

Reovirus type 3 Dearing (RT3D) is an oncolytic, double-stranded RNA virus. To identify potential RT3D drug-viral sensitizer, here we use a high-throughput screen of therapeutic agents and find a PARP-1 inhibitor, talazoparib, as a top hit. RT3D interacts with retinoic acid-induced gene-1 (RIG-I) and activates PARP-1, with consequent PARylation of components of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of PARP-1 abrogates this PARylation and enhances extrinsic apoptosis, NF-kB signalling and pro-inflammatory cell death. Interaction between PARP-1 and RIG-I induced by treating RT3D-infected cells with talazoparib activates downstream IFN-β and TNF/TRAIL production to amplify the therapeutic effect through positive feedback. Furthermore, the effect of RT3D-talazoparib combination is phenocopied by non-viral ds-RNA therapy and RIG-I agonism. In vivo, mouse tumour model results show that RT3D/talazoparib combination regimen induces complete control of inoculated tumour as well as protection from subsequent tumour rechallenge with the, with accompanied innate and adaptive immune activation.
