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

backgroundNatural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapies remain largely ineffective against solid tumors and strategies that directly enhance NK cell cytotoxicity often fail to establish durable tumor control. To address this limitation, we developed GAIA-102, a novel NK-like phenotype with enhanced tumor-homing capacity, and its scalable derivative, expanded GAIA-102 (exp_GAIA). Here, we evaluated whether exp_GAIA can engage host immunity to drive durable response.

methodsA syngeneic lethal murine model of carcinomatous peritonitis was used to assess exp_GAIA. Following adoptive transfer of exp_GAIA with recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2), antitumor efficacy, survival and immune response were evaluated. Mechanistic studies quantified chemokine production and examined CCR5-dependent recruitment and expansion of endogenous NK cells, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion, and activation of tumor-specific CD8

resultsTreatment with exp_GAIA plus rhIL-2 induced complete tumor regression and generated durable, tumor-specific adaptive immune response that required CD8

conclusionsIn combination with rhIL-2, exp_GAIA integrates endogenous NK activity with induction of long-lasting, CD8
