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

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are proposed as an attractive non-viral alternative for mRNA-based CAR-T cell engineering. However, the impact of the LNP charge and the composition of the transfection medium remain to be fully explored. Here, charge-neutral C12-200 LNPs and cationic DOTAP(C12-200) LNPs were compared for ex vivo transfection of activated primary human T cells. C12-200 LNPs achieved efficient transfection with high cell viability in serum-free medium supplemented with apolipoprotein E. Transfection efficiency correlated with low-density lipoprotein receptor expression following T cell activation, suggesting receptor-mediated uptake. In contrast, cationic LNPs demonstrated superior mRNA expression independent of medium composition or T cell activation state, albeit with reduced cytocompatibility. Both LNPs efficiently delivered anti-CD20 nanoCAR mRNA into primary T cells, enabling potent cytotoxicity against CD20
