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

Adoptive cell therapy using TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T cells) represents a promising strategy for treating relapsed and metastatic cancers. We previously established methods to identify neoantigen-specific TCRs based on patients' PBMCs. However, in clinical practice isolation of PBMCs from advanced-stage cancer patients proves to be difficult. In this study, we substituted blood-derived T cells for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and used an HLA-matched cell line of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to replace autologous dendritic cells. Somatic mutations were determined in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma resected from two patients. HLA-A*02:01-restricted neoantigen libraries were constructed and transferred into HLA-matched APCs for stimulation of patient TILs. TCRs were isolated from reactive TIL cultures and functionality was tested using TCR- T cells
