Challenges in the preclinical design and assessment of CAR-T cells.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The advent of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer has opened a new dimension in the management of this complex multifaceted disease, bringing hope to many patients whose tumors have failed to respond to conventional therapies. The adoptive T cell therapy has since been extended to the treatment of several hematologic malignancies, initially in relapsed settings and more recently at the forefront of treatment due to high response rates. Despite exciting initial results, the preclinical antitumor effects of the first long-term studies show that CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor)-T cells have been slow to translate to the clinical setting, with early clinical trials showing suboptimal responses. The main reasons for the limited clinical performance seemed to be related to the low activation and short persistence of CAR-T cells. Thus, began a journey to improve the initial CAR structure, leading to the development of more complex constructs, which are grouped into five CAR generations. In this review, we describe the main challenges and potential solutions for the evaluation of CAR T-cell-based therapies in the preclinical setting.
