Virus Against Cancer: Paradigm-Shifting Biological Concepts.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2025. 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
purpose of reviewVirotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment. Over the past two decades, early-phase clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and promising efficacy of virotherapy in subsets of cancer patients. However, a significant knowledge gap needs to be filled to propel the field further and achieve substantial anti-cancer benefits for more than the current 10-20% of treated patients. This article reviews the most relevant current challenges in cancer virotherapy. RECENT
findingsRecent clinical observations suggest that patients who respond to virotherapy experience a shift in their immune response from an initial or concomitant response against the virus toward the tumor. Strategies aimed at facilitating the temporary escape of the virus from the immune response and ultimately redirecting the immune response from the virus to the tumor may propel the development of cancer viroimmunotherapy as a potent and versatile approach to cancer treatment. Here, we examine this issue and other current challenges in cancer virotherapy.
