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

NK cells exhibit inherently short persistence in vivo. Allo-NK cells trigger host immune rejection in immune-competent patients. Lymphodepletion is a conventional approach for mitigating allogeneic rejection of therapeutic NK cells, which brings host immune suppression and infection risks. To address these problems, we test the concept of engrafting iNK progenitor (iNKP) cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to achieve generating iNK cells in vivo in unconditioned host-immune humanised mice without the requirement for prior lymphodepleting chemotherapy or total body irradiation. Our results showed that a single low-dose infusion of iNKP cells successfully engrafted and continuously produced mature iNK cells in unconditioned B-NDG hIL15 mice. Furthermore, the iPSC-derived iNKP cells survived in the presence of autologous PBMC-humanised mice and generated mature iNK cells. This study provides evidence that autologous iPSC-derived iNKP cells have the application potential for treating the same individual without the preceding necessity of lymphodepletion.
