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

abstractPhiladelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) represents a high-risk B-lineage ALL subtype characterized by adverse clinical features and poor relapse-free survival despite risk-adapted multiagent chemotherapy regimens. The advent of next-generation sequencing has unraveled the diversity of kinase-activating genetic drivers in Ph-like ALL that are potentially amenable to personalized molecularly-targeted therapies. Based upon robust preclinical data and promising case series of clinical activity of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-based treatment in adults and children with relevant genetic Ph-like ALL subtypes, several clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of JAK- or ABL-directed TKIs in cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2)/JAK pathway-mutant or ABL-class Ph-like ALL, respectively. The final results of these trials are pending, and standard-of-care therapeutic approaches for patients with Ph-like ALL have yet to be defined. In this How I Treat perspective, we review recent literature to guide current evidence-based treatment recommendations via illustrative clinical vignettes of children, adolescents, and young adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory Ph-like ALL, and we further highlight open and soon-to-open trials investigating immunotherapy and TKIs specifically for this high-risk patient population.
