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

Although cellular therapies may be effective in cancer treatment, their potential for expansion, damage of normal organs, and malignant transformation is a source of concern. The ability to conditionally eliminate aberrant cells in vivo would ameliorate these concerns and broaden the application of cellular therapy. We devised an inducible T-cell safety switch that can be stably and efficiently expressed in human T cells without impairing phenotype, function, or antigen specificity. This system is based on the fusion of human caspase 9 to a modified human FK-binding protein, allowing conditional dimerization using a small-molecule drug. When exposed to a synthetic dimerizing drug, the inducible caspase 9 (iC9) becomes activated and leads to the rapid apoptosis of cells expressing this construct. We have demonstrated the clinical feasibility and efficacy of this approach after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant (haplo-HSCT). A single dose of a small-molecule drug (AP1903) eliminated more than 90 % of the modified T cells within 30 min after administration and symptoms resolved without recurrence. This system has the potential to broaden the clinical applications of cellular therapy.
