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: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a promising platform to produce "off-the-shelf" chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells (CAR-T) with thepotential for multiplex genetic engineering. Methods: Here, we employed genome editing to knock out the TRAC and B2M genes in iPSC lines, while simultaneously harnessing the edited loci to introduce a drug-inducible CAR and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E single chain trimer. Results: The inducible CAR expression allowed the robust generation of T-cell receptor (TCR)-negative CD8ab+ CAR-T cells with demonstrable anti-tumor efficacy and lack of alloreactivity. HLA-class Inegative, HLA-Epositive CD8 CAR-T cells were protected against immune rejection; however, disruption of B2M resulted in genomic instability and affected the efficiency of T-cell development and the functionality of the generated T cells. Discussion: Facilitating multiplex engineering at well-characterized genomic loci and regulation of possible developmental effects will empower the use of engineered iPSC as a viable method to efficiently produce "off-the-shelf" CART cells.
