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-engineered T cell therapies (CAR-T) are becoming powerful immunotherapeutic tools for treating malignancies, especially hematological malignancies. Like other biological drugs, CAR-T cell products can trigger unwanted immune responses in patients receiving the treatment. This might lead to treatment failure or life-threatening consequences. This immunogenicity could also affect the CAR-T cells' cellular kinetics and clinical responses. In this review, we summarize the immunogenicity of biologics and their effects on PK/PD profiles, safety, and efficacy. We also introduce the mechanisms of immunogenicity induced by CAR-T cells and clinical evidence of immunogenicity of the currently FDA-approved CAR-T cell products. Particularly, we summarize the currently available immunogenicity data from each CAR-T cell product's clinical trials, immunogenicity assays, sample types, and preclinical efficacy models, which were retrieved from the FDA and EMA websites. We also discuss a preclinical model that is promising for evaluating CAR-T cell immunogenicity.
