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

Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy represents a hallmark in cancer immunotherapy, with significant clinical results in the treatment of hematological tumors. However, current approved methods to engineer T cells to express CAR use viral vectors, which are integrative and have been associated with severe adverse effects due to constitutive expression of CAR. In this context, non-viral vectors such as ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) arise as an alternative to engineer CAR T cells with transient expression of CAR. Methods: Here, we formulated a mini-library of LNPs to deliver pDNA to T cells by varying the molar ratios of excipient lipids in each formulation. LNPs were characterized and screened in vitro using a T cell line (Jurkat). The optimized formulation was used ex vivo to engineer T cells derived from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for the expression of an anti-CD19 CAR (CAR-CD19BBz). The effectiveness of these CAR T cells was assessed in vitro against Raji (CD19 Results: LNPs formulated with different molar ratios of excipient lipids efficiently delivered pDNA to Jurkat cells with low cytotoxicity compared to conventional transfection methods, such as electroporation and lipofectamine. We show that CAR-CD19BBz expression in T cells was transient after transfection with LNPs. Jurkat cells transfected with our top-performing LNPs underwent activation when exposed to CD19 Conclusion: Collectively, our results show that LNP-mediated delivery of pDNA is a suitable method to engineer human T cells to express CAR, which holds promise for improving the production methods and broader application of this therapy in the future.
