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

Adoptive therapy using gene-modified T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is gaining pace in the clinic, particularly in hematological malignancies. Translation into treatment of solid tumors has been slower, not least because of the lack of truly tumor-specific target antigens. Alonso-Camino et al. describe experiments that further develop the concept of using the therapeutic entity (in this case, the CAR T cell) to screen for functional binding of tumor target cells. This article highlights the potential for the approach, but also underlies some of the key hurdles that remain to be overcome in order to produce a functional antibody-based screening approach that is able to identify novel tumor antigens that can be recognized by CAR T cells.
