Label-free in vitro assays predict the potency of anti-disialoganglioside chimeric antigen receptor T-cell products.
Article in Cytotherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND
aimsChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated remarkable efficacy against hematological malignancies; however, they have not experienced the same success against solid tumors such as glioblastoma (GBM). There is a growing need for high-throughput functional screening platforms to measure CAR T-cell potency against solid tumor cells.
methodsWe used real-time, label-free cellular impedance sensing to evaluate the potency of anti-disialoganglioside (GD2) targeting CAR T-cell products against GD2+ patient-derived GBM stem cells over a period of 2 days and 7 days in vitro. We compared CAR T products using two different modes of gene transfer: retroviral transduction and virus-free CRISPR-editing. Endpoint flow cytometry, cytokine analysis and metabolomics data were acquired and integrated to create a predictive model of CAR T-cell potency.
resultsResults indicated faster cytolysis by virus-free CRISPR-edited CAR T cells compared with retrovirally transduced CAR T cells, accompanied by increased inflammatory cytokine release, CD8+ CAR T-cell presence in co-culture conditions and CAR T-cell infiltration into three-dimensional GBM spheroids. Computational modeling identified increased tumor necrosis factor α concentrations with decreased glutamine, lactate and formate as being most predictive of short-term (2 days) and long-term (7 days) CAR T cell potency against GBM stem cells.
conclusionsThese studies establish impedance sensing as a high-throughput, label-free assay for preclinical potency testing of CAR T cells against solid tumors.
