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

Antigen heterogeneity substantially limits the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR T) cell therapy against solid tumors. Our study highlights the potent antitumor activity of low-dose decitabine-primed CAR T (dCAR T) cells in solid tumor models, a benefit previously confirmed in hematologic malignancies. Notably, dCAR T cell infusion in immunocompetent mice led to substantial elimination of mixed tumor masses containing both antigen-positive and antigen-negative cells, without the need for prior lymphodepletion. Our analysis showed notable proinflammatory remodeling of the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Crucially, antigen-activated dCAR T cells sustained high levels of interferon-γ production, which induced immunogenic cell death in tumor cells and activated conventional dendritic cells. This, in turn, stimulated endogenous CD8
