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

Lentivirus (LV)-based manipulation of immune cells is a commonly used approach in cell therapies. However, the most frequently used Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G) pseudotyping approach is inefficient to support LV gene delivery of mouse immune cells due to the lack of an optimal entry receptor. Here, we present a transgenic mouse model with Cre recombinase-inducible expression of the human Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (hLDLR), the natural entry receptor of VSV-G LV. Surprisingly, we found that Cre induces robust hLDLR expression across multiple immune cells only under activation conditions. Induction of hLDLR expression by genetic crossing with Cre-transgenic mice or exposure to Cre mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) potently sensitized murine immune cells, especially T cells, to VSV-G LV-mediated gene delivery. This novel transgenic mouse model serves as a valuable tool for investigating immune cell function and engineered cell therapies for cancer in syngeneic mouse models.
