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

Poxvirus-based vectors provide a versatile cancer immunotherapy platform, enabling the expression of immunostimulatory molecules and cancer-specific antigens. While infections with pathogenic viruses are well known to modulate extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis and function, the extent to which therapeutic poxviral vectors influence EV secretion by immune cells and thereby affect therapeutic efficacy remains underexplored. In this study, we showed that poxviruses, including the clinically relevant Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA), stimulate the secretion of small EVs (sEVs) containing viral proteins and immune-related signatures from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Using an engineered MVA vector, we demonstrated the transfer of virus-encoded therapeutic payloads to sEVs, including the model ovalbumin (OVA)-derived peptide SIINFEKL presented by the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC I) and the immune activators interleukin-12 (IL-12) and CD40 ligand (CD40L). Depending on the isolation method, these sEVs stimulated SIINFEKL-specific CD8
