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

backgroundWhile chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy exhibits a robust therapeutic efficacy against B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma, its efficacy and safety have not been established for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and solid tumors due to the paucity of established target antigens. Some AML and solid tumor cells express tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is initially expressed on the cell surface prior to shedding.

methodsIn this study, we obtained monoclonal antibodies against the N-terminal fragment of TNF (TNF-NTF) that remains on the cell surface after shedding. We then generated CAR-T cells to target TNF-NTF using the antibody sequence. To enhance the therapeutic efficacy of TNF-NTF CAR-T cells, we further engineered the previously developed chimeric cytokine receptor consisting of GP130, IL6R, and constitutively active IL7R with the M452L mutation (G6/7R).

resultsTNF-NTF CAR-T cells efficiently lysed TNF-expressing leukemia cells

conclusionsOur studies highlight TNF-NTF as a promising cell surface target for CAR-T cell therapy that can be applied to AML as well as solid tumors.
