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 prognosis of relapsed or refractory T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas (R/R T/NK-LPD/LYM) remains poor. Modified dendritic cell–cytokine-induced killer (DC–CIK) cells loaded with tumour stem cell (TSC) membrane microparticles (MMPs) can improve the targeted killing activity against tumours. However, the use of this treatment has not been reported for R/R T/NK-LPD/LYM. Herein, we report 3 cases. Case 1 involved an 8-year-old male who presented with bilateral cervical painless lymphadenopathy and a left elbow mass. Case 2 involved a 44-year-old man with recurrent nasal congestion and a runny nose. Case 3 involved a 49-year-old man whose bilateral cervical, axillary, and inguinal lymph nodes were enlarged. The biopsy results revealed T-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS); extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type; and nodal T follicular helper (TFH) cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic type (nTFHL-AI) for Patients 1, 2, and 3, respectively. All three patients ultimately underwent modified dendritic cell–cytokine-induced killer cell therapy loaded with tumour stem cell membrane microparticles following disease progression, relapse, and chemotherapy-associated complications after first-line therapy and multiple lines of salvage therapy. Following treatment with modified dendritic cell–cytokine-induced killer cells loaded with tumour stem cell membrane microparticles, two of these three patients achieved complete and durable remission, whereas the third patient achieved a partial response, with no treatment-related adverse events reported. At the most recent follow-up, two patients maintained stable disease (SD) with preserved quality of life, while one patient experienced progressive disease (PD) and died because of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome secondary to transplantation-associated colitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of modified dendritic cell–cytokine-induced killer cells loaded with tumour stem cell membrane microparticles for the treatment of R/R T/NK-LPD/LYM. Our findings warrant further evaluation of this novel targeted immunotherapy in future prospective clinical trials.
