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

PD-1 is a crucial molecule indispensable for maintaining immune homeostasis. Disrupting the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands can significantly enhance the immune system's ability to combat tumors. By integrating the PD-1 ligand-binding domain with the CD28 signal fragments (switch molecule) on T cells, we can utilize co-stimulatory signals to boost the function of T cells while removing the inhibition of immune checkpoint molecules. However, the extensive application of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in clinical settings may neutralize the PD-1 switch molecule, thereby restricting its therapeutic potential. In this study, we used sequential mutation and sorting techniques to rapidly evolve a PD-1 molecule that exhibits high affinity for PD-L1 while avoiding the recognition by five of the six clinically approved anti-PD-1 drugs. Experimental results verify that the Fc fusion protein and switch receptor based on such PD-1 mutant enhance the efficacy of therapeutic T cells.
