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

Chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells lead to high response rates in myeloma, but most patients experience recurrent disease. We combined several high-dimensional approaches to study tumor/immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of myeloma patients pre- and post-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-specific CAR T therapy. Lower diversity of pretherapy T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, presence of hyperexpanded clones with exhaustion phenotype, and BAFF+PD-L1+ myeloid cells in the marrow correlated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) following CAR T therapy. In contrast, longer PFS was associated with an increased proportion of CLEC9A+ dendritic cells (DC), CD27+TCF1+ T cells with diverse T-cell receptors, and emergence of T cells expressing marrow-residence genes. Residual tumor cells at initial response express stemlike genes, and tumor recurrence was associated with the emergence of new dominant clones. These data illustrate a dynamic interplay between endogenous T, CAR T, myeloid/DC, and tumor compartments that affects the durability of response following CAR T therapy in myeloma. SIGNIFICANCE: There is an unmet need to identify determinants of durable responses following BCMA CAR T therapy of myeloma. High-dimensional analysis of the TME was performed to identify features of immune and tumor cells that correlate with survival and suggest several strategies to improve outcomes following CAR T therapy.
