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

The fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPα) is overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment of most solid cancers and, in some cases, in cancer cells, making it an interesting target for theranostic applications. T-cells modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against FAP have recently been described. We previously established the UniCAR system, in which UniCAR T-cells can be repeatedly switched on and off via dosing with a bifunctional adaptor molecule, known as target module (TM). Here, we describe the first FAPI-based immunotheranostic UniCAR TMs (FAPI TMs), enabling both non-invasive molecular imaging and UniCAR T-cell immunotherapy. The FAPI TMs consist of the UAMC-1110 FAPI moiety, the NODA-GA chelator for copper-64 labeling, and the UniCAR epitope (E5B9). Following computational analyses, three FAPI TMs with polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacers of either four, twelve, or 24 units were synthesized. Although the three novel TMs specifically accumulate in FAP-positive tumors in xenograft mice, only the FAPI TMs with an extended spacer (PEG
