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

backgroundCD47 is an attractive immunotherapeutic target because it is highly expressed on multiple solid tumors. However, CD47 is also expressed on T cells. Limited studies have evaluated CD47-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and the role of CD47 in CAR T-cell function remains largely unknown.

methodsHere, we describe the development of CD47-CAR T cells derived from a high affinity signal regulatory protein α variant CV1, which binds CD47. CV1-CAR T cells were generated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The role of CD47 in CAR T-cell function was examined by knocking out CD47 in T cells followed by downstream functional analyses.

resultsWhile CV1-CAR T cells are specific and exhibit potent activity in vitro they lacked antitumor activity in xenograft models. Mechanistic studies revealed CV1-CAR T cells downregulate CD47 to overcome fratricide, but CD47 loss resulted in their failure to expand and persist in vivo. This effect was not limited to CV1-CAR T cells, since CD47 knockout CAR T cells targeting another solid tumor antigen exhibited the same in vivo fate. Further, CD47 knockout T cells were sensitive to macrophage-mediated phagocytosis.

conclusionsThese findings highlight that CD47 expression is critical for CAR T-cell survival in vivo and is a 'sine qua non' for successful adoptive T-cell therapy.
