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

SynNotch receptor technology is a versatile tool that uses the regulatory notch core portion with an extracellular scFv and an intracellular transcription factor that enables to program customized input and output functions in mammalian cells. In this study, we designed a novel synNotch receptor comprising scFv against HBs antigen linked with an intracellular artificial transcription factor and exploited it for viral sensing and cellular immunotherapy. The synNotch receptor expressing cells sensed HBV particles and membrane-bound HBs antigens and responded by expressing reporter molecules, secNL or GFP. We also programmed these cells to dispense antiviral responses such as type I interferon and anti-HBV neutralizing mouse-human chimeric antibodies. Our data reveal that synNotch receptor signaling works for membrane-bound ligands such as enveloped viral particles and proteins borne on liposomal vesicles. This study establishes the concepts of "engineered immunity" where the synNotch platform is utilized for cellular immunotherapy against viral infections.
