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

T-cell receptors can sense cancer-associated changes in cellular proteins, lipids, metabolites, and stress pathways, enabling immune-mediated tumour elimination in some patients. These receptors underpin T-cell receptor-based immunotherapies, yet their isolation from clinical samples remains challenging due to labour-intensive workflows, dependence on prior antigen knowledge, and loss of cell viability. We developed an optimized flow cytometry-based assay, termed the T107 assay, to isolate viable cancer-reactive T-cells directly from clinical samples. Following short-term exposure to cancer cells, responding T-cells are identified by simultaneous surface detection of tumour necrosis factor and the degranulation marker CD107a, enabling recovery of live antigen-reactive cells for downstream analysis. The T107 assay enabled rapid identification of cancer-reactive T-cells from tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte products derived from melanoma and sarcoma patients. The assay supported phenotypic and functional characterization of αβ and γδ T-cell receptor populations, including CD4
