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

The emergence of various novel therapies over the last decade has changed the therapeutic landscape for multiple myeloma. While the clinical outcomes have improved significantly, the disease remains incurable, typically in patients with relapsed and refractory disease. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have achieved remarkable clinical success in B-cell malignancies. This scope of research has more recently been extended to the field of myeloma. While B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is currently the most well-studied CAR T antigen target in this disease, many other antigens are also undergoing intensive investigations. Some studies have shown encouraging results, whereas some others have demonstrated unfavorable results due to reasons such as toxicity and lack of clinical efficacy. Herein, we provide an overview of CAR T-cell therapies in myeloma, highlighted what has been achieved over the past decade, including the latest updates from ASH 2020 and discussed some of the challenges faced. Considering the current hits and misses of CAR T therapies, we provide a comprehensive analysis on the current manufacturing technologies, and deliberate on the future of CAR T-cell domain in MM.
