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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, yet challenges such as manufacturing complexity, high costs, and safety concerns have spurred the development of alternatives like CAR-natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapies. CAR-NK cell therapies provide innate cytotoxicity with antigen-independent targeting, reducing safety risks while improving therapeutic efficacy. However, efficient genomic engineering and large-scale production of allogeneic NK cells remain significant obstacles. To address these challenges, a novel microfluidic gene delivery platform is developed, the Y-hydroporator, designed for allogeneic NK cell immunotherapy. This platform features a Y-shaped microchannel where NK cells experience rapid hydrodynamic stretching near the stagnation point, creating transient membrane discontinuities that facilitate the uptake of exogenous cargo. The Y-hydroporator achieves high delivery and transfection efficiency, processing ≈2 × 10
