Autophagic flux restoration of senescent T cells improves antitumor activity of TCR-engineered T cells.
Article in Clinical & translational immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Objectives: Although adoptive cell therapy with T-cell receptor-engineered T cells (TCR-Ts) has mediated effective antitumor responses in several cancers, senescence of T cells could impair the therapeutic effect of TCR-Ts. Thus, it is essential to elucidate the characteristics of senescent TCR-Ts and how to subsequently improve their antitumor effect. Here, we focused on the influence of autophagy on TCR-Ts, since autophagy is tightly associated with the regulation of T-cell activation, proliferation and differentiation. Methods: We first evaluated autophagy level of senescent TCR-Ts, and then the senescent TCR-Ts were expanded Results: We found that autophagic flux of senescent TCR-T cells was significantly impaired. The restoration of autophagic flux via spermidine treatment reduced the expression of inhibitory immunoreceptors (PD-1, TIM-3 or LAG-3), enhanced proliferation and effector functions and subsequently demonstrated the superior Conclusion: These data suggest that spermidine treatment presents an opportunity to improve the antitumor effect of TCR-Ts for the treatment of solid tumors.
