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

Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable therapeutic effects in treating hematologic cancers, its effectiveness in solid tumors remains significantly restricted. the primary reason is the immunosuppression mediated by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which leads to rapid exhaustion of infiltrating CAR-T cells. To enhance CAR-T cell efficacy against solid tumors, we pursued improvements in two aspects. First, we constructed fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-directed CAR-T cells to enhance their anti-CAF capability within the TME, thereby alleviating the immunosuppressive barrier. Second, we utilized IL-15, an efficient activator of CAR-T cells that inhibits activation-induced cell death, restores effector functions, and increases the proportion of the T stem cell memory (T
