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

Chimeric Ag receptor (CAR) NK cells are challenging to manufacture and fail to achieve consistent tumor infiltration and sustained cytolytic function in the tumor microenvironment. In vivo engineering of NK cells using mRNA-based CAR delivery may overcome these issues. In this study, we developed an in vivo programming method by designing CARs that leverage the biology of NK cell receptors for cell type-specific expression and function. These CARs were engineered by fusion of a tumor recognition domain with the natural cytotoxic receptor family including NKp30, NKp44, and NKp46. Our results demonstrated that these natural cytotoxic receptor-based CARs can engage endogenous signaling adaptors to effectively activate human NK cells for tumor lysis and cytokine production. Specifically, we discovered that stable expression of an NKp44-based CAR was contingent on the presence of the immune cell-specific signaling adaptor DAP12. This innovative strategy facilitates direct in situ programming of NK cells, enhancing safety and minimizing off-target effects in nontargeted, healthy tissues.
