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 cell therapies have shown clinical success in treating hematologic malignancies. However, heterogeneous target antigen expression can impair the durability of response. Combining CAR and T cell engagers (TCEs) targeting additional tumor antigens can address tumor heterogeneity and antigen escape. In allogeneic settings, eliminating the T cell receptor (TCR) of the adoptive T cell therapy prevents graft-versus-host disease. However, the absence of TCR leads to loss of surface CD3 expression, preventing cooperative activity with CD3-directed TCEs. We utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to support the required multiplexed editing, establish a renewable starting material for off-the-shelf manufacture, and create the desired TCR-less CAR
