A Discount on the Cost of Cancer: India's Homegrown CAR-T Cell Therapy.
Review in Blood cell therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 T cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of blood cancer. By improving survival outcomes for patients with B-cell malignancies, which hitherto have been unparalleled by conventional chemotherapy, CAR-T therapy is a beacon of hope for many patients with cancer. However, harvesting, modifying, and reintroducing T cells is costly, which means that not every patient with cancer who needs CAR-T therapy has the financial capacity to receive it. This blatant economic disparity, combined with geographical limitations, for several lower-middle-income countries that do not manufacture CAR-T therapy, has been a problem that has widened the socioeconomic gap between patients with cancer. This was the case until India recently manufactured its own CAR-T therapy. As a lower-middle-income country with a massive burden of cancer, India's NexCAR19 was a pivotal point in South Asian cancer history. From benefiting local patients with cancer to collaborations with neighboring countries, to prompting the manufacture of more CAR-T products, NexCAR19 has facilitated the fight against blood cancers in South Asia.
