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

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a promising cell source for producing T cells for regenerative medicine and immunotherapy. However, it is challenging to develop a scalable suspension culture system for generating functional T lymphocytes from hPSCs. Here, we developed a Matrigel-based artificial thymic organoid (Gel-ATO) system by encapsulating hPSC-derived induced hematopoietic progenitor cells (iHPCs) with MS5-hDLL4 stromal cells. The resulting Gel-ATOs produced functional iT cells capable of antigen-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and tumor suppression in vivo. Building on this system, we further established a rotating suspension culture to robustly generate iT lymphocytes with nearly 20-fold enhancement of iT cells production compared to stationary suspension culture. Importantly, these rotating suspension culture-derived iT cells were functional, exhibiting cytokine secretion, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. By addressing the dual requirements of scalability and function, our work paves the way for future clinical production of T cells for T cell-based cell therapy.
