Dendritic Cell-Cytokine-Induced Killer Cells Co-Loaded with WT1/MUC1/Poly(I:C) Enhance Antitumor Immune Responses In Vitro and In Vivo.
Article in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Dendritic cell-cytokine-induced killer (DC-CIK) therapy faces limitations due to antigenic heterogeneity and suboptimal immune activation. In this study, we developed a multi-antigen-loaded DC-CIK (Ag-DC-CIK) system that co-targets Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1), mucin-1 (MUC1), and the TLR3 agonist poly(I:C) to improve therapeutic outcomes. Utilizing umbilical cord blood-derived DC and CIK cells, we demonstrated that Ag-DC-CIK significantly enhanced cytotoxicity, as evidenced by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, and increased apoptosis induction, indicated by elevated Bax and reduced Bcl-2 expression, in various tumor cell lines (HeLa, HCT116, MKN45) and organoids generated from a gastric cancer patient. Furthermore, Ag-DC-CIK effectively suppressed tumor cell migration and reduced the viability of the organoid. In MKN45 xenograft models, Ag-DC-CIK treatment inhibited tumor growth without inducing systemic toxicity, as shown by decreased Ki67 cell proliferation. This tripartite strategy synergistically enhances DC-CIK therapy by expanding antigen recognition and augmenting immune responses, presenting a promising translational approach for the treatment of gastric cancer.
