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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T immunotherapy has revolutionized the management of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell hematological malignancies. There is emerging evidence that CAR-engineered cells-not only T cells, but also natural killers and macrophages-might have a crucial role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders and solid tumors. Moreover, given the burden of chronic infectious diseases, the mortality and morbidity of infections in immunocompromised individuals, and the development of multidrug-resistant pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and mycobacteria, a need for novel and personalized therapeutics in this field is emerging. To this end, the development of CAR cells for the management of chronic infections has been reported. In this literature review, we summarize the ongoing clinical and pre-clinical data about CAR cell products in the field of infectious diseases. Currently, clinical studies on CAR immunotherapy for infections mainly concern human immunodeficiency virus infection treatment, and data regarding other infections largely originate from preclinical in vitro and in vivo models. In the era of personalized medicine, effective and safe therapies for the management of chronic infections and infectious complications in immunocompromised patients are crucial.
