Posttransplant blockade of CXCR4 improves leukemia complete remission rates and donor stem cell engraftment without aggravating GVHD.
Article in Cellular & molecular immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a promising therapeutic option for hematological malignancies, but relapse resulting predominantly from residual disease in the bone marrow (BM) remains the major cause of treatment failure. Using immunodeficient mice grafted with laboratory-generated human B-ALL, our previous study suggested that leukemia cells within the BM are resistant to graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects and that mobilization with CXCR4 antagonists may dislodge leukemia cells from the BM, enabling them to be destroyed by GVL effects. In this study, we extended this approach to patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and murine T-ALL and AML models to determine its clinical relevance and effects on GVHD and donor hematopoietic engraftment. We found that posttransplant treatment with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 significantly improved the eradication of leukemia cells in the BM in PDX mice grafted with B-ALL cells from multiple patients. AMD3100 also significantly improved GVL effects in murine T-ALL and AML models and promoted donor hematopoietic engraftment in mice following nonmyeloablative allo-HCT. Furthermore, posttransplant treatment with AMD3100 had no detectable deleterious effect related to acute or chronic GVHD. These findings provide important preclinical data supporting the initiation of clinical trials exploring combination therapy with CXCR4 antagonists and allo-HCT.
