Virus-specific T cells for adenovirus infection after stem cell transplantation are highly effective and class II HLA restricted.
Trial report in Blood advances, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Infection with adenoviruses is a common and significant complication in pediatric patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Treatment options with traditional antivirals are limited by poor efficacy and significant toxicities. T-cell reconstitution is critical for the management of adenoviral infections, but it generally takes place months after transplantation. Ex vivo-generated virus-specific T cells (VSTs) are an alternative approach for viral control and can be rapidly generated from either a stem cell donor or a healthy third-party donor. In the context of a single-center phase 1/2 clinical trial, we treated 30 patients with a total of 43 infusions of VSTs for adenoviremia and/or adenoviral disease. Seven patients received donor-derived VSTs, 21 patients received third-party VSTs, and 2 received VSTs from both donor sources. Clinical responses were observed in 81% of patients, with a complete response in 58%. Epitope prediction and potential epitope identification for common HLA molecules helped elucidate HLA restriction in a subset of patients receiving third-party products. Intracellular interferon-γ expression in T cells in response to single peptides and response to cell lines stably transfected with a single HLA molecule demonstrated HLA-restricted CD4+ T-cell response, and these results correlated with clinical outcomes. Taken together, these data suggest that VSTs are a highly safe and effective therapy for the management of adenoviral infection in immunocompromised hosts. The trials were registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02048332 and #NCT02532452.
