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

Therapies employing chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) targeting tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) can lead to on-target-off-tumour toxicity and to resistance, owing to TAA expression in normal tissues and to TAA expression loss in tumour cells. These drawbacks can be circumvented by CAR-T cells targeting tumour-specific driver gene mutations, such as the four-nucleotide duplication in the oncogene nucleophosmin (NPM1c), which creates a neoepitope presented by the human leukocyte antigen with the A2 serotype (HLA-A2) that has been observed in about 35% of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Here, we report a human single-chain variable fragment (scFv), identified via yeast surface display, that specifically binds to the NPM1c epitope-HLA-A2 complex but not to HLA-A2 or to HLA-A2 loaded with control peptides. In vitro and in mice, CAR-T cells with the scFv exhibit potent cytotoxicity against NPM1c
