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

Leaky and structurally abnormal blood vessels and increased pressure in the tumor interstitium reduce the infiltration of CAR-T cells in solid tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Furthermore, high burden of tumor cells may cause reduction of infiltrating CAR-T cells and their functional exhaustion. In this study, various effector-to-target (E:T) ratio experiments are established to model the treatment using CAR-T cells in leukemia (high E:T ratio) and solid tumor (low E:T ratio). It is found that the antitumor immune response is decreased in solid tumors with low E:T ratio. Furthermore, single cell sequencing is performed to investigate the functional exhaustion at a low ratio. It is revealed that the inhibition of mitophagy-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction diminished the antitumor efficacy of CAR-T-cell therapy. The mitophagy agonist BC1618 is screened via AI-deep learning and cytokine detection, in vivo and in vitro studies revealed that BC1618 significantly strengthened the antitumor response of CAR-T cells via improving mitophagy. Here, injection hydrogels are engineered for the controlled co-delivery of CAR-T cells and BC1618 that improves the treatment of TNBC. Local delivery of hydrogels creates an inflammatory and mitophagy-enhanced microenvironment at the tumor site, which stimulates the CAR-T cells proliferation, provides antitumor ability persistently, and improves the effect of treatment.
