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

Since the approval of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy targeting CD19 by the FDA, CAR-T cell therapy has received increasing attention as a new method for targeting tumors. Although CAR-T cell therapy has a good effect against hematological malignancies, it has been less effective against solid tumors. In the present study, we selected mesothelin (MSLN/MESO) as a target for CAR-T cells because it is highly expressed by solid tumors but only expressed at low levels by normal tissues. We engineered a third generation MSLN-CAR comprising a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) targeting MSLN (MSLN-scFv), a CD8 transmembrane domain, the costimulatory domains from CD28 and 4-1BB, and the activating domain CD3ζ.
