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

Dual-attribute immune cells possess advantageous features of cytotoxic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and hold promise for advancing immunotherapy. Dual-attribute cell types such as invariant natural killer T cells, induced T-to-NK cells, and cytokine-induced killer cells have demonstrated efficacy and safety in preclinical and clinical studies. However, their limited availability hinders their widespread application. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer an ideal source. Here, we generate dual-attribute induced T-NK (iTNK) cells from hPSCs, expressing markers of both cytotoxic T and NK cells. Single-cell RNA and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing analyses reveal that iTNK cells expressed signature genes associated with both NK and T cells and displayed a diverse TCR repertoire. iTNK cells release cytotoxic mediators, exert cytotoxicity against diverse tumor cell lines, and inhibit tumor growth in vivo. By harnessing adaptive and innate immune responses, hPSC-derived iTNK cells offer promising strategies for cancer immunotherapy.
