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

Inflammation-related diseases account for over 50% of global disease-associated mortality; the core pathological mechanisms of these diseases are closely linked to functional dysregulation of immune cells such as macrophages and T cells. Aberrantly activated immune cells excessively secrete inflammatory mediators, which drive chronic inflammatory cascades and trigger irreversible tissue damage. In recent years, immune cell-based therapeutic agents (ICTAs) have garnered significant attention due to their inherent targeting specificity and immunomodulatory capabilities, encompassing whole immune cells, cell membranes, or extracellular vesicles serving as active therapeutics or delivery carriers. This review systematically elaborates on strategies for constructing ICTAs through nanoengineering, genetic engineering, and membrane-fused engineering, while outlining their integrating applications with other delivery devices. Furthermore, we summarize the preclinical and clinical trial advancements of ICTAs in various diseases such as tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, ischemia/reperfusion injury, sepsis, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. These insights establish an interdisciplinary design framework for developing clinically applicable ICTAs and propose novel therapeutic approaches for inflammation-related diseases.
