Rapidly expanded partially HLA DRB1-matched fungus-specific T cells mediate in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity.
Article in Blood advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of disease and death in immunocompromised hosts, including patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Recovery of adaptive immunity after HSCT correlates strongly with recovery from fungal infection. Using initial selection of lymphocytes expressing the activation marker CD137 after fungal stimulation, we rapidly expanded a population of mainly CD4+ T cells with potent antifungal characteristics, including production of tumor necrosis factor α, interferon γ, interleukin-17, and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. Cells were manufactured using a fully good manufacturing practice-compliant process. In vitro, the T cells responded to fungal antigens presented on fully and partially HLA-DRB1 antigen-matched presenting cells, including when the single common DRB1 antigen was allelically mismatched. Administration of antifungal T cells lead to reduction in the severity of pulmonary and cerebral infection in an experimental mouse model of Aspergillus. These data support the establishment of a bank of cryopreserved fungus-specific T cells using normal donors with common HLA DRB1 molecules and testing of partially HLA-matched third-party donor fungus-specific T cells as a potential therapeutic in patients with invasive fungal infection after HSCT.
