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

Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is a tumour target currently used for the development of novel therapeutic modalities, such as antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, and others. Success of these new drugs depends on the selection of relevant indications based on ROR1 tumour prevalence, staining heterogeneity, and subcellular localization, among other parameters. We investigated ROR1 immunophenotype using validated antibody clones for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and flow cytometry (FC), analyzing 292 tumour specimens from 7 haematological malignancies and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as a reference solid tumour indication. ROR1 prevalence varied significantly across distinct tumour types, showing 100% of ROR1 positivity in all chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (n = 48) and hairy cell leukaemia (n = 14) specimens analyzed via FC with ranges between 1.1-99.8% and 0.8-62.1%, respectively. Samples analysed via IHC showed ROR1 membrane/cytoplasmic positivity in 44% of mantle cell lymphoma tumour samples (n = 27; H-score range: 10-285 in positive cases); 30% in TNBC (n = 46; H-score range: 1-200); 15% in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 45; H-score: 40-250); and 11% in follicular lymphoma (n = 34; H-score: 2-300). Finally, all acute myeloid leukaemia (n = 52) and most T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 31/32) tested samples were negative for ROR1 via IHC. In conclusion, ROR1 shows a heterogeneous tumour cell expression profile across multiple leukaemias and lymphomas, making it a tumour target that would require different patient selection strategies to develop novel therapeutic modalities.
