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

Background: Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a personalized immunotherapy that has shown promising clinical results in various tumor types. Although TILs are associated with improved survival in patients with ovarian cancer (OC), their therapeutic efficacy remains limited. Therefore, novel strategies to enhance the anti-tumor activity of TILs are needed to improve outcomes in OC treatment. Methods: Single cells were isolated from tumor tissues of patients with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) and expanded for 14 days in the presence of IL-2 under four different conditions: (1) control (W), (2) PD-1 antagonist (WI), (3) PD-1 antagonist + IL-15 + IL-21 (WIO), and (4) PD-1 antagonist + IL-15 + IL-21 + GITR-agonist (WIOG). Following validation of TIL purity and activation phenotypes by flow cytometry, RNA sequencing was performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Results: On day 14, the WIOG group showed a 1.3-fold increase in expansion compared to the control group, along with a high CD8 Conclusions: Taken together, we demonstrated that the addition of an agonistic GITR antibody during the early phase of TIL culture increased the CD8
