Designs of NKG2D-based immunotherapeutics for cancer.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Natural killer group 2 D (NKG2D) receptor, one of the activation receptors on NK cells, has gained increasing attention in recent years because its ligands are widely expressed in most cancers. Naturally, NKG2D reacts to 8 different stress-induced ligands, MICA/B, and ULBP1-6. Despite being genomically conserved between human and mouse, NKG2D transcripts have splice variants that can differentiate the two. hNKG2D or mNKG2D (both long and short transcripts) interacts with DAP10 only in human but DAP10/12 in mouse, switching on different effector functions such as IFN-γ production and cytotoxicity. Full-length, extracellular or cytoplasmic domains have been used to construct chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or implement into the antibody structures including bispecific antibodies. Interestingly, most of the NKG2D CARs, either on T cells or NK cells are investigated in preclinical models of solid tumors. In this article, we reviewed the majority of published NKG2D-based CAR and antibody designs, comparing their respective advantages and disadvantages. We also elaborated how these CARs and antibodies were tested in preclinical cancer models and clinical trials in this review article.
