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

Cell surface molecules transiently upregulated on activated T cells can play a counter-regulatory role by inhibiting T cell function. Deletion or blockade of such immune checkpoint receptors has been investigated to improve the function of engineered immune effector cells. CD38 is upregulated on activated T cells, and although there have been studies showing that CD38 can play an inhibitory role in T cells, how it does so has not fully been elucidated. In comparison with molecules such as PD1, CTLA4, LAG3, and TIM3, we found that CD38 displays more sustained and intense expression following acute activation. After deleting CD38 from human chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, we showed relative resistance to exhaustion
