Generation of Chimeric Antigen Receptors against Tetraspanin 7.
Article in Cells, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Adoptive transfer of antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) has shown promising results in the treatment of autoimmune diseases; however, the use of polyspecific Tregs has limited effects. However, obtaining a sufficient number of antigen-specific Tregs from patients with autoimmune disorders remains challenging. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) provide an alternative source of T cells for novel immunotherapies that redirect T cells independently of the MHC. In this study, we aimed to generate antibody-like single-chain variable fragments (scFv) and subsequent CARs against tetraspanin 7 (TSPAN7), a membrane protein highly expressed on the surface of pancreatic beta cells, using phage display technology. We established two methods for generating scFvs against TSPAN7 and other target structures. Moreover, we established novel assays to analyze and quantify their binding abilities. The resulting CARs were functional and activated specifically by the target structure, but could not recognize TSPAN7 on the surface of beta cells. Despite this, this study demonstrates that CAR technology is a powerful tool for generating antigen-specific T cells and provides new approaches for generating functional CARs.
