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

backgroundVγ9Vδ2-T cells form a conserved T-cell subset known for its potent intrinsic antitumor activity and versatility in recognizing diverse cancer types independently of the major histocompatibility complex. Previously, we reported the preclinical activity of a bispecific T-cell engager (bsTCE) specific for both CD1d and the Vδ2-TCR that engaged both Vγ9Vδ2-T and type 1 natural killer T cells to CD1d-expressing hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we evaluated whether various standard-of-care drugs for patients with MM and AML/myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) affected the in vitro antitumor activity of CD1d-Vδ2 bsTCE-activated Vγ9Vδ2-T cells.

methodsMM and AML/MDS standard-of-care drugs were tested for antagonistic, additive, or synergistic effects on CD1d-Vδ2 bsTCE-induced and Vγ9Vδ2-T cell-mediated tumor cell lysis. Based on observed synergy, the immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) lenalidomide was studied in more detail, exploring effects on Vγ9Vδ2-T cell proliferation, phenotype, cytokine profile, and cytolytic activity, as well as its mechanism of action, using healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and MDS patient PBMC and bone marrow samples.

resultsLenalidomide exerted synergistic activity on CD1d-Vδ2 bsTCE-triggered Vγ9Vδ2-T cell antitumor activity and was found to substantially enhance CD1d-Vδ2 bsTCE-induced Vγ9Vδ2-T cell activation, degranulation, T

conclusionOur findings provide a rationale to explore the combination of CD1d-Vδ2 bsTCE and the IMiD lenalidomide in patients with CD1d-expressing hematological malignancies.
