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

backgroundSince metastatic spreading of solid tumor cells often leads to a fatal outcome for most cancer patients, new approaches for patient-individualized, targeted immunotherapy are urgently needed.

methodsHere, we established cell lines from four bone metastases of different tumor entities. We assessed AdCAR NK-92-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro in standard cytotoxicity assays as well as 3D spheroid models Results: AdCAR-engineered NK-92 cells successfully demonstrated distinct and specific cytotoxic potential targeting different tumor antigens expressed on cell lines established from bone metastases of mammary, renal cell and colorectal carcinoma as well as melanomas. In that process AdCAR NK-92 cells produced a multitude of NK effector molecules as well as pro inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, AdCAR NK-92 showed increased cytotoxicity in 3D spheroid models which can recapitulate in vivo architecture, thereby bridging the gap between in vitro and in vivo models.

conclusionsAdCAR NK-92 cells may provide an interesting and promising "off-the-shelf" cellular product for the targeted therapy of cancers metastasizing to the bone, while utilization of clinically approved, therapeutic antibodies, as exchangeable adapter molecules can facilitate quick clinical translation.
