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

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and is characterized by substantial molecular and immunologic heterogeneity that contributes to therapeutic resistance and poor clinical outcomes. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is an attractive immunotherapy target in HCC; however, its heterogeneous expression limits the effectiveness of GPC3-directed approaches. ECT204, a GPC3-directed ARTEMIS Methods: We engineered the oncolytic vaccinia virus CF33-GPC3 to express GPC3 and evaluated its ability to sensitize GPC3-negative tumor cells to ECT204 Results: CF33-GPC3 efficiently induced surface expression of GPC3 in previously GPC3-negative tumor cells, resulting in activation of GPC3-directed ECT204 T cells and subsequent tumor cell killing. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that OV-mediated GPC3 delivery can overcome antigen heterogeneity in HCC and broaden the applicability of GPC3-directed immunotherapies.
