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) development involves extensive empirical characterization of antigen-binding domain (ABD)/CAR constructs for clinical suitability. Here, we present a cost-efficient and rapid method for evaluating CARs in human Jurkat T cells. Using a modular CAR plasmid, a highly efficient ABD cloning strategy, plasmid electroporation, short-term co-culture, and flow-cytometric detection of CD69, this assay (referred to as CAR-J) evaluates sensitivity and specificity for ABDs. Assessing 16 novel anti-CD22 single-chain variable fragments derived from mouse monoclonal antibodies, CAR-J stratified constructs by response magnitude to CD22-expressing target cells. We also characterized 5 novel anti-EGFRvIII CARs for preclinical development, identifying candidates with varying tonic and target-specific activation characteristics. When evaluated in primary human T cells, tonic/auto-activating (without target cells) EGFRvIII-CARs induced target-independent proliferation, differentiation toward an effector phenotype, elevated activity against EGFRvIII-negative cells, and progressive loss of target-specific response upon
