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

Immune mobilizing monoclonal T-cell receptors Against Cancer (ImmTAC®) molecules are innovative immunotherapies designed to harness the body's immune system to fight cancer. They consist of a soluble affinity-enhanced T-cell receptor (TCR) as the targeting arm, covalently linked to an antibody fragment specific to CD3 as the effector arm, enabling T-cell redirection and cancer cell killing. TCRs can target the intracellular antigenic landscape via recognition of peptides presented by surface localized Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) proteins, unlocking a choice of targets that are specific to the tumor. The ImmTAC platform has been validated in the clinic with the approval of tebentafusp in 2022 for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma. It is the first TCR therapeutic and first soluble bispecific targeting a solid tumor to be approved for commercial use. Here, we describe the methods to produce soluble, affinity-enhanced TCRs and high-affinity ImmTAC molecules.
