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

CAR T cell approaches to effectively target AML and T-ALL without off-tumor effects on healthy myeloid or T cell compartments respectively are an unmet medical need. NKG2D-ligands are a promising target given their absence on healthy cells and surface expression in a wide range of malignancies. NKG2D-ligand expression has been reported in a substantial group of patients with AML along with evidence for prognostic significance. However, reports regarding the prevalence and density of NKG2D-ligand expression in AML vary and detailed studies to define whether low level expression is sufficient to trigger NKG2D-ligand directed CART cell responses are lacking. NKG2D ligand expression in T-ALL has not previously been interrogated. Here we report that NKG2D-ligands are expressed in T-ALL cell lines and primary T-ALL. We confirm that NKG2D-ligands are frequently surface expressed in primary AML, albeit at relatively low levels. Utilizing CAR T cells incorporating the natural immune receptor NKG2D as the antigen binding domain, we demonstrate striking
