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 and natural killer (NK) cell therapies represent a promising strategy for the treatment of cancers and other chronic diseases. Engineered CAR constructs endow immune cells with the ability to target desired antigens with high specificity, allowing for directed responses to antigen-expressing cells. CAR T and NK cells have shown marked success in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, although there remains a large population of patients with disease that fails to respond to CAR therapies, and their efficacy in solid tumors is still limited. In this review, we provide a broad overview of the development, design, and implementation of CAR therapies from bench to bedside. We discuss the building blocks of CAR constructs and how these can be manipulated to optimize CAR functionality, review the possible sources of T and NK cells for CAR therapies, and examine the limitations of both CAR T and CAR NK cells. Finally, we discuss recent breakthroughs in the CAR field and consider how these advances may affect the success of CAR therapies in the years to come.
