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

abstractImmunogenicity limits the persistence of off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapies and transplants. Although ablation of HLA removes most T cell and humoral alloreactivity, no solution has enabled universal protection against the resulting natural killer (NK) cell response. Here, we engineered trans-antigen signaling receptors (TASRs) as a new class of NK inhibitory ligands and discovered CD300a, a previously inaccessible receptor, as a functional target. CD300a TASR outperformed leading alternative strategies in focused screens, including CD47 and HLA-E, and was solely capable of universally protecting allogeneic T cells against a large human cohort (45/45 donors), spanning diverse demographics and NK cell phenotypes. A model allogeneic T-cell therapy coexpressing an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor and CD300a TASR, produced using multiplexed nonviral integration, exhibited enhanced B-cell killing potency under allogeneic immune pressure. CD300 TASR represents a universal solution to NK alloreactivity, broadening the population that could be effectively treated by next-generation allogeneic cell therapies.
