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

purposeRecently, an 211At-labeled RGD peptide with an albumin-binding moiety, Ga-DOTA-K([211At]APBA)-c(RGDfK) ([211At]1), was developed for targeted alpha therapy and radiotheranostics. [211At]1 showed high tumor accumulation and inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. This study aimed to investigate whether [211At]1 can induce an antitumor immune response and whether the combination of [211At]1 and immune checkpoint blockade can enhance therapeutic efficacy.

methodsBiodistribution experiments of [211At]1 and therapeutic experiments of [211At]1 with or without anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 antibody were conducted in Colon-26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. Additionally, therapeutic experiments of [211At]1 were conducted in Colon-26 tumor-bearing BALB/c nu/nu mice to confirm the difference in the therapeutic effects derived from antitumor immune responses of [211At]1. Infiltration of antitumor immune activity in Colon-26 tumors was confirmed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining.

results[211At]1 showed high tumor accumulation and inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner in Colon-26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. Additionally, mice treated with [211At]1 (675 kBq) and anti-CTLA-4 antibody showed superior tumor growth inhibition compared with mice treated with only [211At]1 (675 kBq). Tumor growth inhibition was weaker in BALB/c nu/nu mice than in BALB/c mice. Infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was observed following treatment with [211At]1 (675 kBq) alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibody.

conclusion[211At]1 induced an antitumor immune response and enhanced the therapeutic efficacy. The combination of [211At]1 and immune checkpoint blockade agents could be promising for cancer therapy.
