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

Natural killer (NK) cells are emerging as a promising platform for engineered adoptive cell therapies. However, gene editing in NK cells remains challenging, and more effective strategies are needed. Here, we established a robust, feeder-free, and modular workflow for genome engineering in primary human NK cells, combining CRISPR/Cas9 with AAV6-mediated transgene delivery. Efficient site-specific transgene integration was achieved at various loci and can be coupled with concurrent disruption of the target locus in a single editing step. Furthermore, transgene expression was tunable according to the integration site and promoter. We applied this strategy to target a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) transgene to a panel of inhibitory NK receptor loci, establishing a synergistic approach to enhance anti-tumor activity and facilitate the reliable comparison of CAR variants without expression bias. We identified
