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

A better understanding of the roles of the adaptive and innate immune systems in the oncogenesis of cancers including multiple myeloma (MM) has led to the development of novel immune-based therapies. B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) and Fc receptor-like protein 5 (FcRL5, also known as FcRH5) are cell-surface transmembrane proteins expressed by plasma cells, and have been identified as prominent immunotherapeutic targets in MM, with promising activity demonstrated in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed and/or refractory disease. Indeed, since 2020, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific T cell engagers and autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting BCMA or GPRC5D have been approved for the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory MM. However, responses to these therapies are not universal, and acquired resistance invariably occurs. In this Review, we discuss the various immunotherapeutic approaches targeting BCMA, GPRC5D and FcRL5 that are currently either available or in clinical development for patients with MM. We also review the mechanisms underlying resistance to such therapies, and discuss potential strategies to overcome these mechanisms and improve patient outcomes.
