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

B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) are the most common hematological malignancies which benefit from therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)-based immunotherapies. Despite significant improvement on patient outcome following the use of novel therapies for the past decades, curative treatment is unavailable for the majority of patients. For example, the 5-year survival of MM is currently less than 50%. In the 1980s, interferon-α was used as monotherapy in newly diagnosed or previously treated MM with an overall response rate of 15-20%. Noticeably, a small subset of patients who responded to long-term interferon-α further achieved sustained complete remission. Since 1990, interferon-α-containing regimens have been used as a central maintenance strategy for patients with MM. However, the systemic administration of interferon-α was ultimately limited by its pronounced toxicity. To address this, the selective mAb-mediated delivery of interferon-α has been developed to enhance specific killing of MM and B-cell malignant cells. As such, targeted interferon-α therapy may improve therapeutic window and sustain responses, while further overcoming suppressive microenvironment. This review aims to reinforce the role of interferon-α by consolidating our current understanding of targeting interferon-α with tumor-specific mAbs for B cell lymphoma and myeloma.
