Case Report: CD20/BCMA bispecific CAR-T therapy for progressive multiple sclerosis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Refractory secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) remains an area of unmet need, particularly once disability continues to accumulate despite multiple disease-modifying therapies. Two SPMS patients are reported with C-CAR168 treatment, a bispecific CD20/BCMA CAR-T product, achieving 12- and 6-month drug-free remission. Patient 001 (EDSS 4.0→3.0) showed improvement of oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia, and cognitive impairment. Patient 002 (EDSS 6.5→6.0) demonstrated halted lower-limb progression and relieved bowel/bladder dysfunction. C-CAR168 infiltrated into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), persistently depleted pathogenic B-lineage cells and CD20dim T cells, and normalized inflammatory markers with an overall favorable safety profile. This first-in-human experience supports bispecific CAR-T as a promising immune-reprogramming strategy for refractory SPMS.
