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

purposeBrain metastases (BM) are mainly treated palliatively with an expected survival of less than 12 months after diagnosis. In many solid tumors, the human neural stem cell marker glycoprotein CD133 is a marker of a tumor-initiating cell population that contributes to therapy resistance, relapse, and metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL

designHere, we use a variant of our previously described CD133 binder to generate second-generation CD133-specific chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) to demonstrate its specificity and efficacy against multiple patient-derived BM cell lines with variable CD133 antigen expression.

resultsUsing both lung- and colon-BM patient-derived xenograft models, we show that a CD133-targeting CAR-T cell therapy can evoke significant tumor reduction and survival advantage after a single dose, with complete remission observed in the colon-BM model.

conclusionsIn summary, these data suggest that CD133 plays a critical role in fueling the growth of BM, and immunotherapeutic targeting of this cell population is a feasible strategy to control the outgrowth of BM tumors that are otherwise limited to palliative care. See related commentary by Sloan et al., p. 477.
