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

T cell receptor-engineered T cells (TCR-T) could be advantageous in glioblastoma by allowing safe and ubiquitous targeting of the glioblastoma-derived peptidome. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z1 (PTPRZ1), is a clinically targetable glioblastoma antigen associated with glioblastoma cell stemness. Here, we identify a therapeutic HLA-A*02-restricted PTPRZ1-reactive TCR retrieved from a vaccinated glioblastoma patient. Single-cell sequencing of primary brain tumors shows PTPRZ1 overexpression in malignant cells, especially in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and astrocyte-like cells. The validated vaccine-induced TCR recognizes the endogenously processed antigen without off-target cross-reactivity. PTPRZ1-specific TCR-T (PTPRZ1-TCR-T) kill target cells antigen-specifically, and in murine experimental brain tumors, their combined intravenous and intracerebroventricular administration is efficacious. PTPRZ1-TCR-T maintain stem cell memory phenotype in vitro and in vivo and lyse all examined HLA-A*02
