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

Solid tumors often evade TCR-engineered αβ T cells when antigen expression varies or when the restricting Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) allele is lost. γδ T cells, in contrast, detect cellular dysregulation through non-peptide/Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) cues, including phosphoantigens and stress ligands, and can be developed as allogeneic therapies. Although intratumoral γδ T cell signatures are associated with improved outcome across cancers, γδ recognition itself is broad and still selected within the thymus just as αβ T cell receptors (TCRs) are. It does not, however, anchor specificity to a defined driver-mutation pMHC epitope. We therefore asked whether a high-affinity, co-receptor-independent αβ TCR could graft oncogenic-driver specificity onto γδ T cells while leaving the endogenous γδ TCR intact. We knocked the KRASG12V/HLA-A*11:01 TCR A11v into primary human γδ T cells. Engineered cells co-expressed the transgenic αβ TCR and the endogenous γδ TCR and lysed KRASG12V/HLA-A*11:01
