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

Advances made in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy have revolutionized the treatment and management of certain cancers. Currently, B cell malignancies have been among the few cancers to which CAR T cells have shown persistent and resilient anti-tumor responses. A growing body of evidence suggests that the persistence of CAR T cells within patients following infusion is linked to the mitochondrial fitness of the CAR T cell, which could affect clinical outcomes. Analysis of CAR T cells from patients undergoing successful treatment has shown an increase in mitochondrial mass and fusion events, and a reduction in aerobic metabolism, highlighting the importance of mitochondria in CAR T cell function. Consequently, there has been recent interest and investment in approaches that focus on mitochondrial programming. In this regard, miRNAs are promising agents in mitochondrial reprogramming for several reasons: (1) natural and artificial miRNAs are non-immunogenic, (2) one miRNA can simultaneously modulate the expression of multiple genes within a pathway, (3) the small size of a sequence required for producing mature miRNA is ideal for use in viral vectors and (4) different precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) hairpins can be incorporated into a polycistronic miRNA cluster to create a miRNA cocktail. In this perspective, we describe the latest genetic engineering strategies that can be used to achieve the optimal expression of candidate miRNAs alongside a CAR construct. In addition, we include an in silico analysis of rational candidate miRNAs that could promote the mitochondrial fitness of CAR T cells.
