Augmenting CAR T-cell Functions with LIGHT.
Article in Cancer immunology research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has resulted in remarkable clinical success in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, its clinical efficacy in solid tumors is limited, primarily by target antigen heterogeneity. To overcome antigen heterogeneity, we developed CAR T cells that overexpress LIGHT, a ligand of both lymphotoxin-β receptor on cancer cells and herpes virus entry mediator on immune cells. LIGHT-expressing CAR T cells displayed both antigen-directed cytotoxicity mediated by the CAR and antigen-independent killing mediated through the interaction of LIGHT with lymphotoxin-β receptor on cancer cells. Moreover, CAR T cells expressing LIGHT had immunostimulatory properties that improved the cells' proliferation and cytolytic profile. These data indicate that LIGHT-expressing CAR T cells may provide a way to eliminate antigen-negative tumor cells to prevent antigen-negative disease relapse.
