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

backgroundMost patients with multiple myeloma (MM) will relapse after an initial response and eventually succumb to their disease. This is due to the persistence of chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells in the patients' bone marrow (BM) and immunotherapeutic approaches could contribute to eradicating these remaining cells. We evaluated SLLP1 as a potential immunotherapeutic target for MM.

methodsWe determined SLLP1 expression in myeloma cell lines and 394 BM samples from myeloma patients (n = 177) and BM samples from healthy donors (n = 11). 896 blood samples and 64 BM samples from myeloma patients (n = 263) and blood from healthy donors (n = 112) were analyzed for anti-SLLP1 antibodies. Seropositive patients were evaluated regarding SLLP1-specific T cells.

resultsMost cell lines showed SLLP1 RNA and protein expression while it was absent from normal BM. Of 177 patients 41% evidenced SLLP1 expression at least once during the course of their disease and 44% of newly diagnosed patients were SLLP1-positive. Expression of SLLP1 was associated with adverse cytogenetics and with negative prognostic factors including the patient's age, number of BM-infiltrating plasma cells, serum albumin, β2-microglobulin, creatinine, and hemoglobin. Among patients treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation those with SLLP1 expression showed a trend towards a reduced overall survival. Spontaneous anti-SLLP humoral immunity was detectable in 9.5% of patients but none of the seropositive patients evidenced SLLP1-specific T cells. However, antigen-specific T cells could readily be induced in vitro after stimulation with SLLP1.

conclusionsSLLP1 represents a promising target for the immunotherapy of MM, in particular for the adoptive transfer of T cell receptor-transduced T cells.
