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

backgroundChimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered cell therapies have made significant progress in haematological cancer treatment. This success has motivated researchers to investigate its potential applications in non-cancerous diseases, with substantial strides already made in this field. MAIN BODY: This review summarises the latest research on CAR-engineered cell therapies, with a particular focus on CAR-T cell therapy for non-cancerous diseases, including but not limited to infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, cardiac diseases and immune-mediated disorders in transplantation. Additionally, the review discusses the current obstacles that need to be addressed for broader clinical applications.

conclusionWith ongoing research and continuous improvements, CAR-engineered cell therapy holds promise as a potent tool for treating various diseases in the future. KEY POINTS: CAR-engineered cell therapy has expanded beyond cancer to treat autoimmune diseases, infections, cardiac diseases, and transplant-related rejection. The CAR platform is diverse, with various cell types such as CAR-T, CAR-NK, and CAR-M potentially suited for different disease contexts. The safety, efficacy, and practicality of CAR cell therapy in non-cancer diseases remain challenging, requiring further technological optimization and clinical translation.
