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

Recent advances in systems biology and immunotherapy have spurred the investigation of bacteria as therapeutic vehicles for cancer treatment. Currently, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin remains the only FDA-approved bacterial cancer therapy; it is a live attenuated mycobacterium that is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of carcinoma IMPORTANCE: Given long-standing safety concerns surrounding the therapeutic use of live bacteria, we constructed a ΔspiC mutant of VNP20009 and demonstrated that it provides a markedly improved safety profile while retaining antitumor efficacy in NF2-related schwannomatosis mouse schwannoma models. In addition, we created two genetically defined
