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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have demonstrated impressive initial response rates in hematologic malignancies. However, relapse rates are significant, and robust efficacies in other indications, such as solid tumors, will likely require novel therapeutic strategies and CAR designs. To that end, we sought to develop simple, highly selective targeting domains (D domains) that could be incorporated into complex, multifunctional therapeutics. Herein, we describe the identification and characterization of D domains specific for CD123, a therapeutic target for hematologic malignancies, including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). CARs comprised of these D domains mediate potent T cell activation and cytolysis of CD123-expressing target cells and induce complete durable remission in two AML xenograft models. We describe a strategy of engineering less immunogenic D domains through the identification and removal of putative T cell epitopes and investigate the binding kinetics and affinity requirements of the resultant D domain CARs. Finally, we extended the utility of D domains by generating functional, bi-specific CARs comprised of a CD123-specific D domain and a CD19-specific scFv. The properties of D domains suggest that this class of targeting domain may facilitate the development of multi-functional CARs where conventional, scFv-based designs may be suboptimal.
