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

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with T cells targeting Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) neoantigens can drive anti-tumor immunity but has so far been focused on a small fraction of known KRAS neoantigens. Here, we develop a single process starting from peripheral blood that can prime and expand T cell responses ex vivo to any KRAS neoantigen based on each individual's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) profile. We conducted the process in 20 healthy donors and generated T cell responses to 46 of 47 evaluated neoantigens. We identified and cloned more than 150 KRAS T cell receptors (TCRs), with the strongest TCRs having similar potency to clinically active benchmark TCRs. T cells generated through this process were able to slow tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. The approach could be used as the basis for the development of an ex vivo primed therapeutic or to discover a library of TCRs against a broad range of KRAS neoantigens.
