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

Adoptive cell therapies used to treat advanced prostate cancer are being developed to target several tumor-associated antigens, including prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy using the single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from the humanized murine mAb clone J591 as the antigen-binding domain has shown promising anti-tumor activity. However, it has also been associated with macrophage activation syndrome and other unwanted toxicities, highlighting the need for more specific and human-derived antigen-binders with optimized construct designs for improved safety and efficacy. Here, we optimize a human scFv-based PSMA-targeted CAR (hPSMA-CAR) with highly selective PSMA targeting. We further introduce a membrane-bound IL-12 (mbIL12) molecule, which enhances potency with increased T cell expansion, IFN-γ production, and anti-tumor cell activity
