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

Advances in cellular immunotherapy promise new treatments for conditions such as cancer, autoimmune disease, and heart disease. While engineered cells have the ability to recognize clinically relevant signals, traffic to disease sites and interface with the host immune system, their activity must be tightly controlled to minimize undesirable effects in healthy tissues. One approach to obtaining specificity is to activate the cells spatially using externally applied energy, such as ultrasound-delivered heating. To facilitate such control, we designed and characterized a genetic circuit that enables stable transcriptional activation of macrophages after a brief thermal stimulus, resulting in the expression of reporters or secretion of the cytokine IL-12. We demonstrate that
