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

The last few years have seen a revolution in cellular immunotherapies for multiple myeloma (MM) with novel antigen targets. The principle new target is B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). Autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy directed against BCMA was first approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2021, although approval by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellent (NICE) is awaited. Initial response rates in patients with heavily pretreated MM have been impressive, but patients are still relapsing. Furthermore, CAR-T manufacturing is expensive and time-consuming, and T-cell fitness is impaired by prior MM treatment. Numerous strategies to improve outcomes and delivery of cellular immunotherapy are under investigation, including next-generation CARs, allogeneic 'off-the-shelf' CARs and targeting of other MM antigens including G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D (GPRC5D), Fc receptor homologue 5 (FcRH5), cluster of differentiation (CD)19, signalling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 7 (SLAMF7) and several others. In this exciting and rapidly evolving treatment landscape, this review evaluates the most recent clinical and preclinical data pertaining to these new cellular immunotherapies and explores strategies to overcome resistance pathways. On the protracted journey to a long-term cure, we outline the challenges that lie ahead and ask, 'Are we there yet?'
