Engineered human pluripotent stem cell-derived natural killer cells: the next frontier for cancer immunotherapy.
Review in Blood science (Baltimore, Md.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adoptive immunotherapy using immune effector cells has revolutionized cancer treatments with approval of two autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies by the US FDA. Clinical trials using natural killer (NK) cell-based adoptive immunotherapy have been shown to be safe and effective for treatment of multiple malignancies, especially acute myelogenous leukemia. However, most of these trails use primary NK cells isolated from peripheral or cord blood which can have donor-dependent variability and can be challenging to genetic engineer to improve antitumor functions, limiting the widespread use of this promising new therapy. NK cells can now be routinely produced from human pluripotent stem cells, both human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These pluripotent stem cells are homogenous, easy to genetically modify on a clonal level and can be used as unlimited source of NK cells, making them ideal population to develop standardized, off-the-shelf adoptive NK cell therapy products. In this review, we discuss recent advances of obtaining and expanding hESC and iPSC-derived NK cells and novel genetic engineering strategies that are being applied to improve their antitumor functions.
