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

Cancer metastasis and recurrence remain the leading causes of cancer-related mortality, and lung is a major metastatic anatomical location. Chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-M) represent promising candidates for cancer therapy owing to their superior tumour-infiltrating and antigen-specific phagocytotic abilities, and to being professional antigen presenting cells. However, broader applications of CAR-Ms face challenges such as complex manufacturing processes and predominant accumulation in the liver following intravenous administration. Here we present an inhalable engineered small extracellular vesicle (sEV), which contains mesothelin-specific CAR messenger RNA (CAR
