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 therapy for tumors faces barriers like heterogeneous antigen expression, an unfriendly tumor microenvironment, and limited T cell expansion. We adopt a 3-in-1 strategy to produce super circulating TIL-like (tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte-like) cells (ScTILs): modifying PD-1-positive peripheral blood T cells with an enhance receptor (ER), a PD-1 and CD28 fusion protein to reverse inhibitory signal, and an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) for expansion (CFE). ScTILs kill tumor cells effectively in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, ten advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients receive ScTILs treatment; post hoc analysis shows that ScTILs monotherapy yields a median overall survival (OS) of 18.3 months in appropriate dose or normal B cell groups (5/10), outperforming first-line BTC treatment (OS ∼12 months). It skips chemo-pre-treatment and interleukin-2 (IL-2), with better safety, no reliance on surgical materials, and a shorter production cycle. Overall, ScTILs are a promising therapy for future BTC treatment. This study is registered with ChiCTR (ChiCTR2000029738).
