Treatment of an Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Allograft with Recombinant Myxoma Virus and Oclacitinib.
Article in Oncolytic virotherapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeRhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are difficult tumors to treat with conventional therapies. Publications indicate that oncolytic virotherapy (OV) could benefit cancer patients with tumors that are refractory to conventional treatments. It is believed that the efficacy of OV can be enhanced when used in combination with other treatments. This study evaluated the response of mice with aggressive alveolar RMS (ARMS) allografts to treatment with an OV [recombinant myxoma virus (MYXVΔserp2)] in combination with a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (oclacitinib). Oclacitinib is known to inhibit JAK1 and JAK2 cell signaling pathways, which should limit the antiviral Type I interferon response. However, oclacitinib does not inhibit immune pathways that promote antigen presentation, which help stimulate an anti-cancer immune response. MATERIALS AND
methodsTo determine if MYXVΔserp2 and oclacitinib could improve outcomes in animals with ARMS, nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with murine ARMS cells to establish tumors. Immune responses, tumor growth, and clinical signs in mice treated with combination therapy were compared to mice given placebo therapy and mice treated with OV alone.
resultsCombination therapy was safe; no viral DNA was detected in off-target organs, only within tumors. As predicted, viral DNA was detected in tumors of mice given oclacitinib and MYXVΔserp2 for a longer time period than mice treated with OV alone. Although tumor growth rates and median survival times were not significantly different between groups, clinical signs were less severe in mice treated with OV.
conclusionOur data indicate that MYXVΔserp2 treatment benefits mice with ARMS by reducing clinical signs of disease and improving quality of life.
