Chimeric antigen receptor cells as a tool for localized delivery of TNFα in solid cancer treatment.
Review in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are effective in treating blood cancers but not solid cancers and can cause severe side effects, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS). One strategy to enhance the efficacy of CAR-T cells while avoiding CRS in cancer treatment is to deliver a single tumoricidal factor. TNFα is well known for triggering apoptosis signaling; however, it alone is not effective in treating cancers because it significantly increases the levels of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases that block caspase-induced apoptosis. Thus, localized delivery of TNFα by targeting the tumors using the adoptive cells combined with an IAP antagonist, which degrades IAP proteins, could lead to improved outcomes in cancer treatment. This article reviews TNFα-induced apoptosis signaling pathway, outlines the principles for designing CAR-T cells, CAR-macrophages and CAR-dendritic cells expressing TNFα, used alone or in combination with IAP antagonists, and discusses the potential contraindications of IAP antagonists with several clinical used drugs for cancer treatment.
