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

Despite great strides of progress, at least 60% of the responding patients relapse to CAR therapy across the blood malignancies. Off-tumor toxicity apart from functional deficits, cytopenia and infection are the major unfavourable effect of CAR therapy. Models, which faithfully recapitulate the physiology and complexities of immunocompetent tumor microenvironment (TME), paused challenges in capturing potential off-tumor effects of CAR therapy. Importantly, a landmark change in the legislation allows US Food and Drug Administration and New Drugs and Clinical Trial Rules in India encourages researchers to replace animal testing with cell culture approaches relevant to human system. Organ-on-chip (OOC) based on microfluidics technology can potentially emulate multiple biochemical and biophysical intricacies of blood and lymph flow at microscale. Nonetheless, how the evolving microfluidics technology can be enabling to real-time testing of cell and gene is yet to be realised.
