Oncolytic myxoma virus and engineering strategies for advanced cancer immunotherapy.
Review in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In cancer immunotherapy, oncolytic viruses (OVs) offer an alternative approach to kill malignant cells by inducing cancer-specific host immune system activation. Given the ongoing need for safe and effective viral vectors for immunotherapy, non-zoonotic animal viruses have attracted significant interest. Here, we review the oncolytic myxoma virus (MYXV) and emphasize its emerging role in cancer immunotherapy. We critically discuss recent advances in cancer therapy using MYXV, primarily focused on engineered viral modifications. Furthermore, we briefly review alternative delivery strategies for MYXV and its combination with other anticancer agents. We also compare several key features of MYXV with those of other well-characterized OVs. In this study, we explore the key preclinical milestones that must be achieved for the MYXV OV to successfully transition to clinical trials. Preclinical studies have indicated the promising oncolytic potential and satisfactory safety profile of MYXV, thus paving the way for human clinical trials.
