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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of fourth-generation combined PSMA and GD2-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in the treatment of refractory/relapsed gliomas.

methodThis study employed a single-arm design, enrolling patients with confirmed refractory/relapsed gliomas at the Immuno-oncology Department of the Cancer Center at Clifford Hospital in Guangdong. Eligible patients received combined treatment with PSMA CAR-T and GD2 CAR-T cells via intravenous administration. The dose of reinfused CAR-T cells ranged from 1-5 × 10^6 cells/kg of body weight.

resultsSix patients were included in the study, all of whom responded to the treatment. The overall response rate (ORR) was 50%, with three patients achieving complete response (CR) (50%) and three demonstrating stable disease (SD) (50%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.0 months (range, 1-56 months), and the median overall survival (OS) was 24.5 months (range, 13-63 months). Three patients (50%) developed cytokine release syndrome (CRS), all of which were classified as grade I CRS, and no patients experienced immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS).

conclusionCombined PSMA CAR-T and GD2 CAR-T cell therapy demonstrated significant efficacy and good tolerability in the treatment of refractory/relapsed gliomas, without severe adverse reactions.
