CARs: a new approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Review in Science China. Life sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapeutic interventions represented a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Following the success of the CAR-T-cell strategy, this novel therapeutic approach has been applied to other diseases, including autoimmune diseases. Using CAR-T cells to deplete pathological immune cells (i.e., B cells, autoreactive B or T cells, and accessory antigen-presenting cells (APCs)) has resulted in favorable outcomes in diseases characterized by excessive autoantibody levels or hyperactive lymphocyte cell numbers. The importance of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) in restoring immune tolerance has been well established, and CAR-Tregs have shown promising therapeutic potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Moreover, prior experience from the cancer field has provided sufficient paradigms for understanding how to optimize the structure and function of CARs to improve their function, persistence, stability and safety. In this review, we describe the potential application of CAR-T cells and CAR-Tregs in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and we summarize the currently available strategies of gene editing and synthetic biological tools that have improved the practical application of CAR-based therapies.
