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

The ability of biological systems to convert inputs from their environment into information to guide future decisions is central to life and a matter of great importance. While we know the components of many of the signaling networks that make these decisions, our understanding of the dynamic flow of information between these parts remains far more limited. T cells are an essential white blood cell type of an adaptive immune response and can discriminate between healthy and infected cells with remarkable sensitivity. This chapter describes the use of a synthetic T-cell receptor (OptoCAR) that is optically tunable within cell conjugates, providing control over the duration, and intensity of intracellular T-cell signaling dynamics. Optical control can also provide control over signaling with high spatial precision, and the OptoCAR is likely to find application more generally when modulating T-cell function with imaging approaches.
