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

backgroundCellular immunotherapy using modified T cells offers new avenues for cancer treatment. T-cell receptor (TCR) engineering of CD8 T cells enables these cells to recognize tumor-associated antigens and tumor-specific neoantigens. Improving TCR T-cell therapy through increased potency and in vivo persistence will be critical for clinical success.

methodsWe evaluated a novel drug combination to enhance TCR therapy in mouse models for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM).

resultsCombining TCR therapy with the SUMO E1 inhibitor TAK981 and the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-2' deoxycytidine resulted in strong antitumor activity in a persistent manner against two in vivo tumor models of established AML and MM. We uncovered that the drug combination caused strong T-cell proliferation, increased cytokine signaling in T cells, improved persistence of T cells, and reduced differentiation towards exhausted phenotype. Simultaneously the drug combination enhanced immunogenicity of the tumor by increasing HLA and co-stimulation and surprisingly reducing inhibitory ligand expression.

conclusionCombining T-cell therapy with TAK981 and 5-Aza-2' deoxycytidine may be an important step towards improved clinical outcome.
