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

CAR-T therapy faces significant challenges in solid tumors, including the shortage of targetable antigen and the immunogenicity of CAR molecules. Here, TSHR is identified as specifically expressed in DTC, but absent in other normal tissues, making it an ideal target for CAR-T therapy. To overcome CAR immunogenicity, a novel CAR molecule is engineered using TSH (TSH-CAR), the natural ligand of TSHR, as the antigen-binding domain to target TSHR. The TSH-CAR-T cells demonstrate effective antitumor activity against TSHR-positive differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cell lines in vitro, accompanied by cytokine release (IFNγ, IL-2) and robust proliferation. In addition, TSH-CAR-T cells achieved complete tumor eradication and sustained remission in two distinct thyroid cancer xenograft models. Furthermore, for comprehensively evaluate the safety profile of TSH-CAR-T cell, a murine TSH-CAR (mTSH-CAR-T) is engineered, revealing that mTSH-CAR-T cells effectively control mTSHR-positive tumor growth without evident on-target/off-tumor effect in immunocompetent syngeneic mouse tumor models, except for the transient and reversible impairment of thyroid follicles, which is acceptable given prior thyroidectomy in DTC patients. The potent preclinical efficacy and favorable safety profile strongly support the clinical translation of TSH-CAR-T for patients suffering from metastatic and radioiodine-resistant DTC.
