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

Currently, two main challenges in cancer immunotherapy commonly hinder the application of T cell receptor-modified T cell (TCR-T) therapy in the treatment of solid tumors, including the limited ability of T cells to infiltrate solid tumor tissues and the immunosuppressive signals that restrain the anti-tumor efficacy of T cells. In this study, we constructed NY-ESO-1-specific TCR-T and introduced polyethylene glycol-phospholipids (PEG-lipids) to stably modify NY-ESO-1 TCR-T with nonapeptide iRGD, aiming to enhance the penetrability of T cells in vivo, then we combined iRGD-modified NY-ESO-1 TCR-T (iRGD-NY-ESO-1 TCR-T) with PD-1 blockade to alleviate immunosuppressive signals. In result, it is suggested that stably modifying NY-ESO-1 TCR-T with iRGD is a simple and effective strategy to enable TCR-T to target and penetrate solid tumor tissues. Besides, the combination of iRGD-NY-ESO-1 TCR-T with PD-1 blockade presents a novel synergistic strategy for the treatment of refractory NY-ESO-1-positive solid tumors.
