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

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a myeloproliferative disorder that predominantly affects infants and young children. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is standard of care, but post-HSCT relapse is common, highlighting the need for innovative therapies. While adoptive immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has improved outcomes for patients with advanced lymphoid malignancies, it has not been comprehensively evaluated in JMML. In the present study, we use bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, mass spectrometry, and flow cytometry to identify overexpression of CLL-1 (encoded by CLEC12A) on the cell surface of cells from patients with JMML. We develop immunotherapy with CLL-1 CAR T cells (CLL1CART) for preclinical testing and report in vitro and in vivo anti-leukemia activity. Notably, CLL1CART reduce the number of leukemic stem cells and serial transplantability in vivo. These preclinical data support the development and clinical investigation of CLL-1-targeting immunotherapy in children with relapsed/refractory JMML.
