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)-modified cell therapy products approved for clinical treatment of hematological malignancies have hitherto been based on T cells. NK cells represent a promising immune cell type that can be considered for CAR engineering due to their potential to be generated as off-the-shelf allogeneic cellular therapy. Viral transduction of NK cells with CARs has been fraught with challenges of long process time and poor CAR transduction efficiency. Here, we describe the development of an optimized protocol for electroporation-based delivery of CAR mRNA into NK cells expanded from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the presence of co-stimulating feeder cells. This enabled rapid assessment of the functional capacity of NK cells transiently expressing various CARs to kill liquid and solid tumor cells
