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

The central role that tumor antigen-derived peptides play in induction of antitumor immunity makes them ideal candidates for peptide-based cancer vaccines. We have demonstrated that "transloading" is an efficient strategy for importing short peptide ligands into antigen-presenting cells in vitro. Postulating that the transloading procedure might effect peptide uptake by antigen-presenting cells in vivo as well, we tested this approach for the generation of peptide-based cancer vaccines. In the P815 mastocytoma system, we vaccinated mice by s.c. injection of a single, known natural peptide derived from JAK-1 kinase. Whereas vaccination with peptide alone or mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant was ineffective, application of the peptide in conjunction with the polycation poly-L-lysine protected a significant number of animals against tumor challenge. Dependent upon the type of poly-L-lysine applied, protection against tumor take was comparable to that achieved with irradiated whole-cell vaccines, genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. In the murine melanoma M-3, a combination of four putative tumor antigen-derived peptides was tested as a cancer vaccine. Administered in combination with polycations, these peptides evoked potent antitumor immunity that could not be obtained with the peptides alone or peptides emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. However, peptide-polycation vaccines applied to the M-3 model were not as efficient as cellular control vaccines, consisting of irradiated interleukin 2 or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting tumor cells.
