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 cell therapy with therapeutic T cells has become one of the most promising strategies to stimulate or suppress immune responses. Using virus-mediated genetic manipulation, the antigen specificity of T cells can now be precisely redirected. Tailored specificity has not only overcome technical limitations and safety concerns but also considerably broadened the spectrum of therapeutic applications. Different T cell-engineering strategies have now become available to suppress alloimmune responses. We first provide an overview of the allorecognition pathways and effector mechanisms that are responsible for alloimmune injuries in the setting of vascularized organ transplantation. We then discuss the potential to use different T cell-engineering approaches to suppress alloimmune responses. Specifically, expression of allospecific T cell receptors, single-chain chimeric antigen receptors, or antigen domains recognized by B cell receptors (B cell antibody receptors) in regulatory or cytotoxic T cells are considered. The ability of these strategies to control the direct or indirect pathways of allorecognition and the cellular or humoral alloimmune responses is discussed. An intimate understanding of the complex interplay that occurs between the engineered T cells and the alloimmune players is a necessary prerequisite for the design of safe and successful strategies for precise immunomodulation in transplantation.
