GITRL enhances cytotoxicity and persistence of CAR-T cells in cancer therapy.

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 (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable clinical success in treating hematological malignancies. However, its clinical efficacy in solid tumors is less satisfactory, partially due to poor in vivo expansion and the limited persistence of CAR-T cells. Here, we demonstrated that the overexpression of GITR ligand enhances the anti-tumor activity of CAR-T cells. Compared to prostate-specific membrane antigen-BB-Z (PSMA-BB-Z) CAR-T, PSMA-BB-Z-GITRL CAR-T cells have much more interferon (IFN)-γ, TNF-α, and interleukin (IL)-9 secretion, a higher proportion of central memory T (T
