Review in Molecular therapy. Methods & clinical development, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05054257 (Safety and Efficacy of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor-modified Autologous T Cells), which is not on this map. Cited by 68 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Adoptive cellular therapy using T cells with tumor specificity derived from either natural T cell receptors (TCRs) or an artificial chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has reached late phase clinical testing, with two CAR T cell therapies achieving regulatory approval within the United States in 2017. The effective use of these therapies depends upon an understanding of their pharmacology, which is quite divergent from traditional small molecule or biologic drugs. We review the different types of T cell therapy under clinical development, the factors affecting cellular kinetics following infusion, and the relationship between these cellular kinetics and anti-cancer activity. We also discuss the toxicity associated with T cell therapies, with an emphasis on cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, and the gaps in knowledge regarding these frequent and unique adverse effects.
