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

Allogeneic cellular immunotherapies hold promise for broad clinical implementation but face limitations due to potential rejection of donor cells by the host immune system. Silencing of beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) expression is commonly employed to evade T cell-mediated rejection by the host, although the absence of B2M is expected to trigger missing-self responses by host natural killer (NK) cells. Here, we demonstrate that genetic deletion of the adhesion ligands CD54 and CD58 in B2M-deficient chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and multi-edited induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CAR NK cells reduces their susceptibility to rejection by host NK cells in vitro and in vivo. The absence of adhesion ligands limits rejection in a unidirectional manner in B2M-deficient and B2M-sufficient settings without affecting the antitumor functionality of the engineered donor cells. Thus, these data suggest that genetic ablation of adhesion ligands effectively alleviates rejection by host immune cells, facilitating the implementation of universal immunotherapy.
