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 T cell (CAR-T) therapies have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy. Traditional single-chain variable fragments (ScFvs) used as CAR recognition moieties face challenges such as high tonic signaling, compromised binding epitopes, and suboptimal affinity. Single-domain antibodies (SdAbs) offer an attractive alternative due to their smaller size, stability, and reduced immunogenicity. In this work, we developed an SdAb-CAR-T cell discovery platform integrating generation, characterization, and selection of SdAbs based on various properties. This approach was demonstrated by developing CAR-T cells with SdAbs against CD33, a target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We identified diverse SdAbs against CD33, with affinities ranging from 3.9-115 nM, and characterized their binding kinetics and epitope recognition. Using SdAb-based second-generation CARs, we assessed tonic signaling, T cell phenotypes, cytotoxicity and cytokine release
