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

Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are immune effector cells capable of killing multiple myeloma (MM) cells and have been tested in clinical trials to treat MM patients. To enhance the MM cell killing function of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, we introduced a BCMA-specific CAR into ex vivo expanded Vγ9Vδ2 T cells through electroporation of the CAR-encoding mRNA. The modified Vγ9Vδ2 T cells displayed a high cytolytic activity against BCMA-expressing MM cell lines in vitro, while sparing BCMA-negative cells, including normal B cells and monocytes. Subsequently, we intravenously injected KMS-11 human MM cells to generate a xenograft mouse model. The treatment of the tumor-bearing mice with Zometa and anti-BCMA CAR- Vγ9Vδ2 T cells resulted in a significant reduction of tumor burden in the femur region, as well as the overall tumor burden. In association with the decrease in tumor burden, the survival of the MM cell-inoculated mice was markedly prolonged. Considering the potential of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells to be used as off-the-shelf products, the modification of these cells with a BCMA-specific CAR could be an attractive option for cancer immunotherapy against bone marrow cancer MM.
