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

Pathogenic B cell activation underlies many autoimmune diseases (AIDs), and their depletion is an attractive therapeutic approach. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing cells-initially developed and successfully used to treat certain cancers-are increasingly being developed to selectively deplete B cells and 'reset' the immune system in AIDs. In this Review, we survey this fast-developing field, providing insights on the current unmet needs in the treatment of AIDs and how CAR T cells could address these needs. In particular, we explore the concept of deep B cell depletion, discuss the currently available technologies and review the key targets (CD19 and B cell maturation antigen) relevant for the treatment of AIDs. We summarize current evidence on the efficacy, safety, risks and limitations of autologous and allogeneic CAR T cells in this setting. Finally, we discuss the future outlook-from a technological and clinical standpoint-for development of engineered CAR-expressing cell therapies for AIDs.
