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

To generate CARCIK cells with enhanced targeting and penetration of solid tumors, we have designed new CAR molecules against tenascin C (TNC), an extracellular matrix and surface molecule, overexpressed in several tumor types. Two different anti-TNC CAR constructs were generated, sharing the anti-TNC scFv domain, fused to the CD3ζ fragment, but differing in co-signaling domains: CAR-TNC4 carrying the 4-1BB and CAR-TNC5 the CD28 and OX40 domains. Both CARs were introduced into cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) by co-transfection with the sleeping beauty transposase plasmid. CARCIK-TNC cells were cytotoxic against TNC
