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

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has a catastrophic prognosis. Blinatumomab, a CD3/CD19-directed bispecific T cell engager, is reportedly effective for advanced B-cell ALL (B-ALL), even after allo-HCT. However, the efficacy of blinatumomab in extramedullary relapse (EMR) is controversial. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is another immunological treatment worth considering for ALL relapsed after allo-HCT. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with B-ALL. Allo-HCT was performed during the second complete remission (CR). Thirteen months after allo-HCT, isolated EMR (iEMR) of B-ALL developed without bone marrow lesions. A third CR was achieved with 2 cycles of blinatumomab. An additional four cycles each of blinatumomab and DLI were then administered. The patient did not develop graft-versus-host disease and has confirmed 2-year treatment-free remission without a second allo-HCT. Therefore, blinatumomab was considered an effective salvage therapy for iEMR of B-ALL after allo-HCT, because iEMR could have a lower tumor burden than that seen in systemic relapse, and low tumor burden was a prognostic factor for response to blinatumomab. Furthermore, immunological consolidation therapies could only provoke graft-versus-leukemia effects if the imbalanced effector/target ratio was restored and the tumor burden was lowered through immunosurveillance.
