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

T cells equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have evolved into an essential pillar of lymphoma therapy, reaching second-line treatment. In solid cancers, however, a dearth of lasting CAR T cell activation poses the major obstacle to achieving a substantial and durable anti-tumor response. To extend T cell cytotoxic capacities, we engineered CAR T cells to constitutively release an immunostimulatory variant of soluble SLAMF6. While wild-type SLAMF6 induces T cell exhaustion, CAR T cells with the soluble Δ17-65 SLAMF6 variant exhibited refined, CAR redirected functionality compared to canonical CAR T cells. CD28-ζ CAR T cells releasing soluble SLAMF6 increased IFN-γ secretion and augmented CD25 upregulation on CD4
