Reprogramming T-cell metabolism to enhance adoptive cell therapies.
Review in International immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is an immunotherapeutic approach that involves isolating T cells from a patient, culturing them ex vivo, then reinfusing the cells back into the patient. Although this strategy has shown remarkable efficacy in hematological malignancies, the solid-tumour microenvironment (TME) has presented serious challenges for therapy efficacy. Particularly, the TME has immunosuppressive signalling and presents a metabolically challenging environment that leads to T-cell suppression. T-cell metabolism is an expanding field of research with a focus on understanding its inherent link to T-cell function. Here, we review the current model of T-cell metabolism from naïve cells through effector and memory life stages, as well as updates to the model from recent literature. These models of metabolism have provided us with the tools and understanding to explore T-cell metabolic and mitochondrial insufficiency in the TME. We discuss manipulations that can be made to these mitochondrial and metabolic pathways to enhance the persistence of infused T cells, overcome the metabolically challenging TME and improve the efficacy of therapy in ACT models. Further understanding and investigation of the impact of metabolic pathways on T-cell performance could contribute to improving therapy efficacy for patients.
