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

Viral infections cause life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients and especially following transplantation. T cell receptor (TCR) engineering redirects specificity and can bring significant progress to emerging adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) approaches. T cell epitopes are well described, although knowledge is limited on which TCRs mediate protective immunity. In this study, refractory adenovirus (AdV) infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was treated with ACT of highly purified Hexon5-specific T cells using peptide major histocompatibility complex (pMHC)-Streptamers against the immunodominant human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A∗0101-restricted peptide LTDLGQNLLY. AdV was successfully controlled through this oligoclonal ACT. Novel protective TCRs were isolated ex vivo and preclinically engineered into the TCR locus of allogeneic third-party primary T cells by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated orthotopic TCR replacement. Both TCR knockout and targeted integration of the new TCR in one single engineering step led to physiological expression of the transgenic TCR. Reprogrammed TCR-edited T cells showed strong virus-specific functionality such as cytokine release, effector marker upregulation, and proliferation capacity, as well as cytotoxicity against LTDLGQNLLY-presenting and AdV-infected targets. In conclusion, ex vivo isolated TCRs with clinical proven protection through ACT could be redirected into T cells from naive third-party donors. This approach ensures that transgenic TCRs are protective with potential off-the-shelf use and widened applicability of ACT to various refractory emerging viral infections.
