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

Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells have been found to be successful in treating hematologic malignancies and present potential for usage in solid tumors. Methods: In this study, we created CD276-targeted CAR-expressing NK cells from pluripotent stem cells (iPSC CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells) and evaluated their cytotoxicity against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using patient-specific organoid (PSO) models comprising of both CD276-positive and CD276-negative adjacent epithelium PSO models (normal control PSO, NC PSO) as well as primary culture of ESCC cell models. In addition, Results: The positive CD276 staining was specifically detected on the ESCC membrane in 51.43% (54/105) of the patients of all stages, and in 51.35% (38/74) of stages III and IV. The iPS CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells, comparing with the iPS NK cells and the NK-free medium, exhibited specific and significant cytotoxic activity against CD276-positive ESCC PSO rather than CD276-negative NC PSO, and exhibited significant cytotoxicity against CD276-expressing cultured ESCC cells, as well as against CD276-expressing KYSE-150 Discussion: The efficacy of the iPSC CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells demonstrated by their successful treatment of CD276-expressing ESCC in a multitude of pre-clinical models implied that they hold tremendous therapeutic potential for treating patients with CD276-expressing ESCC.
