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

B7-H3 is a cell surface protein overexpressed in many solid tumors and an attractive target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. The most clinically advanced B7-H3 CARs are derived from murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 376.96 and MGA271, which are now in phase I/II trials. However, non-human mAb sequences can provoke immune responses, leading to CAR T-cell rejection and therapeutic failure. Although scFv humanization reduces this risk, residual foreign residues within the variable domains remain. To overcome this limitation, we used in vitro phage display to generate fully human B7-H3-specific scFvs for CAR design. In pancreatic cancer, neuroblastoma, and glioblastoma xenograft models, CAR T cells incorporating the lead human binder Y111 were well tolerated and demonstrated superior antitumor activity compared with 376.96- and MGA271-based CARs. Y111 CAR treatment induced complete responses, tumor rejection, and significant survival benefits, identifying Y111 as a promising fully human B7-H3 CAR for solid tumors.
