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

backgroundThe prognosis of patients with recurrent WHO grade 4 glioma is poor, particularly in glioblastoma, which has a median survival of approximately 6 months and no effective treatment options. We evaluated the short-term (28-day) safety and efficacy of ON-01, an engineered recombinant oncolytic herpes simplex virus type-1, in patients with recurrent WHO grade 4 glioma.

methodsIn this single-arm, phase 1/2 clinical trial, eligible patients received intratumoral injections of ON-01 under stereotactic guidance. The primary endpoint was to assess the short-term safety profile of ON-01 treatment. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and the 2-year OS rate. An exploratory objective was to identify tumor-related biomarkers predictive of treatment efficacy.

resultsOf the 30 patients treated with ON-01, 13 (43.3%) were male, and the median age was 50.0 years (range, 22-75). A total of 36 grade 1, 12 grade 2, and 2 grade 3 adverse events were reported. Among all treated patients, the median OS was 12.0 months (95% CI, 10.1-13.9), median PFS was 3.0 months (95% CI, 1.7-4.3), and 2-year OS rate was 27.7% (95% CI, 12.6%-45.0%). Seven patients with recurrent multifocal gliomas demonstrated regression of non-injection site lesions following ON-01 therapy. Furthermore, patients with elevated expression of herpesvirus entry mediator exhibited significantly prolonged survival (P = .015).

conclusionsIntratumoral infusion of ON-01 appeared safe and demonstrated efficacy in patients with recurrent malignant glioma, with no evidence of neurotoxicity. The therapeutic response to ON-01 may be associated with HVEM expression levels.
