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

Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has transformed cancer treatment, high-quality and universal CAR-staining reagents are urgently required to manufacture CAR T cells, predict therapy response, decipher CAR biology, and engineer new CARs. Here, we developed tetrameric and dodecameric forms of a multifunctional and extensible category of high-avidity CAR-staining reagents: antigen-multimers. Antigen-multimers detected CARs against CD19, HER2, and Tn-glycoside with significantly higher specificity, sensitivity, and precision than existing reagents. In addition to accurate CAR T-cell detection by flow cytometry, antigen-multimers also enabled ≥100-fold magnetic enrichment of rare CAR T cells, selective CAR T-cell stimulation, and high-dimensional CAR T-cell profiling by single-cell multi-omics analyses. Finally, antigen-multimers accurately captured clinical anti-CD19 CAR T cells from patients' cellular infusion products, post-infusion peripheral blood, and tumor biopsies. Antigen-multimers can be readily extended to other CAR systems by switching its antigen ligand. As such, antigen-multimers have broad clinical and research applications.
