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

backgroundPatients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are often older, which brings challenges of endurance and persistent efficacy of autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies. Allogenic CAR-natural killer (NK) cell therapies may offer reduced toxicities and enhanced anti-leukemic potential against AML. CD33 CAR-NK cells have been investigated for AML therapy. However, the fratricide-mediated lysis of CD33-expressing NK cells by CD33 CAR-NK cells limits the expansion and efficacy of CD33 CAR-NK cells. Mesothelin (MSLN), a tumor differentiation antigen, is highly expressed in a fraction of patients with AML, making it a promising target for AML therapy.

methodsWe designed a novel CD33-MSLN Loop CAR (Loop CAR) and evaluated its antitumor efficacy in human umbilical cord blood-derived NK (UCB-NK) cells and human pluripotent stem cell-derived NK (hPSC-iNK) cells. To further avoid fratricide caused by endogenous CD33 expression in NK cells, we established an hPSC-derived cell line via knockout of the

resultsLoop CAR-NK cells exhibited superior cytotoxicity against dual-antigen-positive tumor cell lines and primary AML cells compared with CD33 CAR-NK and MSLN CAR-NK cells. Moreover, Loop CAR-NK cells showed upregulated signaling pathways related to NK cell activation and cytotoxic function. The loss of CD33 in iNK cells effectively avoided fratricide, improved expansion ability, and significantly enhanced CD33 and MSLN-mediated specific cytotoxicity of Loop CAR-iNK cells. Moreover, the CD33

conclusionLoop CAR empowered both UCB-NK cells and hPSC-iNK cells with superior cytotoxicity against CD33
