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-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM3), generally known as an immune checkpoint receptor, is expressed on leukemic stem and progenitor cells (LSPCs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and has an active role in LSC self-renewal. Therefore, TIM3 has been suggested as a potential target for AML treatment. Hence, we explored the feasibility of targeting TIM3 with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells. Despite the expression of TIM3 on activated T-cells, TIM3 CAR T-cells were successfully generated from different healthy individuals with excellent in vitro expansion without signs of fratricide and sustained central-memory phenotype with minimal expression of exhaustion-related markers, including complete loss of TIM3 expression. TIM3 loss also did not affect effector functions since TIM3 CAR T-cells efficiently lysed TIM3
