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 holds great promise for patients with cancer, and the identification of predictive biomarkers is crucial in finding new ways to guide therapy. Major challenges to the application of informatics and machine learning in CAR T-cell therapy include limited sample sizes and non-uniformity in data generation across cancer indications and trials. Here we took a global, pan-haematologic cancer approach, analysing 256 patients across 5 cancer types and 13 clinical trials. We generated data using a framework that included pre-infusion clinical features, over 2 million apheresis T cells analysed by flow cytometry using 17 unique markers, ex vivo T-cell expansion during CAR T-cell manufacture, more than 90,000 measurements of 30 serum markers and serial tracking of circulating CAR T cells using qPCR. From this data resource, we demonstrate the potential of pan-cancer predictive biomarkers that capture generalizable characteristics of treatment response and non-response in CAR T-cell therapy.
