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 infiltration and cytotoxicity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are crucial for effective elimination of solid tumors. While metallo-immunotherapy is a promising strategy that can activate the antitumor immunity, its role in promoting CAR-T cell therapy remains elusive. The first single-element nanomaterial based on chromium nanoparticles (Cr NPs) for cancer photo-metallo-immunotherapy has been reported previously. Herein, an extended study using biodegradable polydopamine as a versatile carrier for these nanoparticles, enabling synergistic CAR-T cell therapy, is reported. The results show that these nanocomposites with or without further encapsulation of the anticancer drug alpelisib can promote the CAR-T cell migration and antitumor effect. Upon irradiation with near-infrared light, they caused mild hyperthermia that can "warm" the "cold" tumor microenvironment (TME). The administration of B7-H3 CAR-T cells to NOD severe combined immunodeficiency gamma mice bearing a human hepatoma or PIK3CA-mutated breast tumor can significantly inhibit the tumor growth after the induction of tumor hyperthermia by the nanocomposites and promote the secretion of serum cytokines, including IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α.
