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

Oncolytic viruses are an emerging class of immunotherapies for cancer treatment. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is a first-in-class oncolytic virus approved globally for advanced melanoma. Herein, we describe the quantitative clinical pharmacology aspects of T-VEC that supported the development of this unique therapy. As a live therapy, the exposure characteristics of T-VEC are vastly different from the pharmacokinetics (PK) of traditional small molecules or therapeutic proteins and were characterized as tumor site oncolytic viral kinetics. Relatively flat relationships between T-VEC dose, lesion exposures, and efficacy were identified based on dose-exposure-response (D-E-R) analyses of 60 adult subjects, indicating that optimal drug effect was achieved over the studied dose range (10
