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

Treatment resistance remains a leading cause of acute leukemia-related deaths. Thus, there is an unmet need to develop novel approaches to improve outcome. New immune-based therapies with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, bi-specific T cell engagers (BiTEs), and immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) have emerged as effective treatment options for chemoresistant B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, many patients show resistance to these immune-based approaches. This review describes crucial lessons learned from immune-based approaches targeting high-risk B-ALL and AML, such as the leukemia-intrinsic (e.g., target antigen loss, tumor heterogeneity) and -extrinsic (e.g., immunosuppressive microenvironment) mechanisms that drive treatment resistance, and discusses alternative approaches to enhance the effectiveness of these immune-based treatment regimens.
