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

objectivesChimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy possesses the potential to cause unexpected on-target toxicities that may be life-threatening. Non-human primates (NHPs) share considerable structural homology and expression profiles of most proteins with humans and are therefore utilised as an animal model for non-clinical safety studies. We have developed a lymphodepleted NHP model by conditioning the animals with immunosuppressive chemotherapy designed to simulate clinical practice conditions, to induce transient mixed chimerism before the administration of human CAR-T cells redirected to target Ephrin type-B receptor 4 (EPHB4-CAR-T cells) to evaluate the toxicity of these cells.

methodsWe administered 60 mg m

resultsLymphodepletion was successfully achieved on day -1 before T-cell infusion and persisted over 7 days without severe organ toxicities. A single administration of human EPHB4-CAR-T cells did not induce overt organ toxicities, although EPHB4-CAR-T cells were activated

conclusionAlthough this NHP model is limited for the full evaluation of toxicity of human CAR-T cells and the conditioning protocol should be further optimised, this lymphodepleted NHP model could be used to assess acute on-target/off-tumor toxicities of CAR-T cells.
