LMP2-mRNA lipid nanoparticle sensitizes EBV-related tumors to anti-PD-1 therapy by reversing T cell exhaustion.
Article in Journal of nanobiotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundTargeting EBV-proteins with mRNA vaccines is a promising way to treat EBV-related tumors like nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We assume that it may sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
resultsWe developed an LMP2-mRNA lipid nanoparticle (C2@mLMP2) that can be delivered to tumor-draining lymph nodes. C2@mLMP2 exhibited high transfection efficiency and lysosomal escape ability and induced an increased proportion of CD8 + central memory T cells and CD8 + effective memory T cells in the spleen of the mice model. A strong synergistic anti-tumor effect of C2@mLMP2 in combination with αPD-1 was observed in tumor-bearing mice. The mechanism was identified to be associated with a reverse of CD8 + T cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment. The pathological analysis further proved the safety of the vaccine and the combined therapy.
conclusionsThis is the first study proving the synergistic effect of the EBV-mRNA vaccine and PD-1 inhibitors for EBV-related tumors. This study provides theoretical evidence for further clinical trials that may expand the application scenario and efficacy of immunotherapy in NPC.
