Deciphering response dynamics and treatment resistance from circulating tumor DNA after CAR T-cells in multiple myeloma.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Despite advances in treatments, multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable cancer where relapse is common. We developed a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) approach in order to characterize tumor genomics, monitor treatment response, and detect early relapse in MM. By sequencing 412 specimens from 64 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory disease, we demonstrate the correlation between ctDNA and key clinical biomarkers, as well as patient outcomes. We further extend our approach to simultaneously track CAR-specific cell-free DNA (CAR-cfDNA) in patients undergoing anti-BCMA CAR T-cell (BCMA-CAR) therapy. We demonstrate that ctDNA levels following BCMA-CAR inversely correlate with relative time to progression (TTP), and that measurable residual disease (MRD) quantified by peripheral blood ctDNA (ctDNA-MRD) was concordant with clinical bone marrow MRD. Finally, we show that ctDNA-MRD can anticipate clinical relapse and identify the emergence of genomically-defined therapy-resistant clones. These findings suggest multiple clinical uses of ctDNA for MM in molecular characterization and disease surveillance.
