Efficacy and safety of nelarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Nelarabine is approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients who relapse following at least two different chemotherapy regimens. Previous studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of nelarabine with chemotherapy in the treatment of R/R T-ALL. However, the results are inconsistent. This review aimed to summarize findings on efficacy and safety data in R/R T-ALL patients administered with the drug nelarabine. The present review conducted a comprehensive search of MEDLINE (via PubMed), WHO Clinical Trial Registry, Clinical Trials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until 15 January 2022. Thirteen studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria with a total of 2508 patients. The efficacy of nelarabine was studied in terms of complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR). Included studies reported overall random-effects pooled prevalence of CR and PR were 37.2 (95% CI: 22.8, 51.5) and 10.2 (95% CI: 4.9, 15.5), respectively. Most common adverse events associated with nelarabine were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, fatigue, infections, and reversible peripheral neuropathy. Nelarabine is being used as salvage therapy as a bridge to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the findings of this meta-analysis indicate that it is an effective and safe treatment to be used in addition to the first-line treatment for R/R T-ALL.
