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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking advancement in cancer immunotherapy, demonstrating remarkable success in treating hematologic malignancies. However, its application in solid tumors remains challenging. The complex manufacturing process and severe treatmentrelated toxicities further limit its broader clinical application. To address these challenges, researchers are investigating alternative CAR-engineered immune cells, including CAR-NK cells, CAR-γδ T cells, and CARmacrophages (CAR-M), which offer distinct advantages over conventional CAR-T therapy. Notably, CAR-NK and CAR-γδ T cells exhibit HLA-independent cytotoxicity, making them promising 'off-the-shelf' therapeutic options. Meanwhile, CAR-M not only phagocytose tumor cells and present antigens but also remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Despite their potential, these innovative therapies still face several challenges in clinical application. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells, CAR-γδ T cells, and CAR-M for cancer treatment, providing a comprehensive analysis of their respective strengths, limitations, and future optimization strategies to support the clinical translation of next-generation CAR-based immunotherapies.
