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 expressing immunostimulatory transgenes can enhance immune cells recruitment into the tumor bed and activate potent antitumor immune responses. In this study, we evaluated oncolytic activity of recombinant myxoma virus (MYXV) variants expressing murine LIGHT, murine mIL-15, or IL-15Rα-IL-15 fusion protein. All recombinant MYXVs demonstrated similar replication kinetics and cytotoxic activity in cancer cell lines. Their therapeutic efficacy was further assessed in a bilateral tumor model in immunocompetent mice, where only one tumor received intratumoral treatment. We observed significant tumor regression in both injected and uninjected contralateral tumors following treatment with MYXV expressing IL-15Rα-IL-15 (vMyx-IL15Rα) or mLIGHT (vMyx-mLIGHT), indicating the activation of systemic antitumor immunity. Additionally, vMyx-IL15Rα- treated mice survived significantly longer than any of the other treatments. Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes revealed that vMyx-IL15Rα increased effector memory CD8
