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

Engineered cell-based therapies comprise a rapidly growing clinical technology for treating disease by leveraging the natural capabilities of cells, including migration, information transduction, and biosynthesis and secretion. There now exists a substantial portfolio of intracellular and extracellular sensors that enable bioengineers to program cells to execute defined responses to specific changes in state or environmental cues. As our capability to construct more sophisticated cellular programs increases, assessing and improving the degree to which cell-based therapies perform as desired in vivo will become an increasingly important consideration and opportunity for technological advancement. In this review, we seek to describe both current capabilities and potential needs for building cell-based therapies that interface with host physiology in a manner that is robust - a phrase we use in this context to describe the achievement of therapeutic efficacy across a range of patients and implementations. We first review the portfolio of sensors and outputs currently available for use in cell-based therapies by highlighting key advancements and current gaps. Then, we propose a conceptual framework for evaluating and pursuing robust clinical performance of engineered cell-based therapies.
