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

The rapid development of therapies using oncolytic viruses (OVs) has highlighted their unique advantages, such as their selective replication in tumor cells and their activation of a specific systemic antitumor immune response. However, effectively delivering OVs to tumor sites, especially solid tumor sites, remains a critical challenge. Intratumoral injections face significant barriers in treating some malignant tumors in internal organs, while increasing preclinical data support the use of intravenous injections. Nevertheless, intravenously injected viral particles may be prematurely cleared by circulating antibodies or complements, resulting in a reduced virus dose effectively reaching the tumor site. Therefore, developing methods to shield viruses from the neutralizing environment of the bloodstream while heading toward tumor sites is a must. In this review, we discuss some of the most promising delivery methods for OVs currently under investigation.
