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

In this study, we develop a simian retrovirus 2 pseudotyped retrovirus (SRV2 RV) for the generation of CAR-based immune cells. The SRV2 RV exhibits superior gene transduction efficiency in both T cells and NK cells compared to feline endogenous retrovirus (RD114) pseudotyped retrovirus (RD114 RV) or vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) pseudotyped lentivirus (VSV-G LV). Among the various SRV pseudotypes tested, only the SRV2 RV successfully transduces genes into immune cells. Unlike the SRV2 RV, however, lentivirus pseudotyped with the SRV2 envelope glycoprotein (ENV) fails to mediate gene transduction into T cells. CAR-T and NK cells generated using SRV2 RV demonstrate substantial anticancer activity both in vitro and in preclinical models. In conclusion, our findings highlight the SRV2 RV as a highly effective platform for producing CAR-based immune cells.
