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

CD19/CD22 dual-target chimeric antigen receptor (CAR19/22) T cell therapies mark a key advance over single-target options for refractory B-cell malignancies. However, over 20% of patients relapse and underlying mechanisms remain less understood. This study evaluated relapse in 91 B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients treated with CAR19/22 T cells a clinical trial (ChiCTR-OPN-16008526). The complete remission rate was 91.9%, and 32.9% (26/79) of responders relapsed at a median of approximately 7 months. Among late relapses (>7 months), 92.3% was CAR T functional insufficiency showing lack of persistence or recovery of CD19⁺ B lymphocytes. Early relapses showed greater heterogeneity with 30.8% attributable to CAR T functional insufficiency and 30.8% to antigen insufficiency. Notably, two early relapses (15.4%) exhibited concurrent CD19/CD22 downregulation and harbored a preexisting PAX5 deletion or frameshift insertion. These PAX5-mutated subclones persisted and expanded at relapse, with one patient acquiring additional CD19 mutations. PAX5 knockout in leukemic cells reduced CD19/CD22 expression and proximal enhancer activities, causing in vitro resistance to CAR19/22 T cells. Collectively, CAR T functional insufficiency and antigen insufficiency are the most (61.5%) and second (15.4%) frequent drivers of relapse, respectively. Disruptive PAX5 mutations define a distinct molecular mechanism of early relapse, guiding rational targeted strategies.
