Frontline Blinatumomab in Older Adults with Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Article in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Outcomes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in older adults treated with chemotherapy are poor. The CD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody blinatumomab is approved for refractory, relapsed or minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD)-positive B-cell ALL, but there is little experience in the upfront setting, including in older patients. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of blinatumomab monotherapy in five newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell ALL patients over 70 years. Three had cytokine release syndrome, treated with dexamethasone and/or tocilizumab, and four patients had neurotoxicity, treated with dexamethasone, without blinatumomab interruption. All five achieved complete remission (CR) after cycle one, three with undetectable MRD. All five were alive at 8 to 15 months. Three remained in MRD-negative CR. Two relapsed after cycle 3, one with extramedullary disease. In our small cohort of patients over 70 years, blinatumomab was safe initial therapy and produced a high response rate.
