Real-life use of mTOR inhibitor-based therapy in adults with autoimmune cytopenia highlights strong efficacy in relapsing/refractory multi-lineage autoimmune cytopenia.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Data on mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) in autoimmune cytopenia (AIC), in adults are scarce. We retrospectively analysed 30 cases of refractory or relapsing AIC treated with an mTORi-based therapy. Eleven warm autoimmune hemolytic anaemia, 10 autoimmune thrombocytopenia, 6 acquired pure red cell aplasia, 3 autoimmune neutropenia were included. Twenty were multilineage AIC (67%) and 21 were secondary AIC (70%). mTORi were associated with other therapies in 23 AIC (77%). Twenty-two AIC (73%) responded to mTORi-based therapy: 5 reached a partial response (17%) and 17 a complete response (57%). Survival without unfavourable outcome (failure, requirement of a new therapy, or death) was longer in multilineage AIC compared to single-lineage AIC (p = 0.049) with a median event-free survival of 48 versus 12 months. Median event-free survival was 48 months in secondary AIC and 33 months in primary AIC (p = 0.79). mTORi were discontinued in 4 patients (15%) for safety reasons and in 3 patients for patient's choice (12%). In conclusion, mTORi could be considered as an alternative or an add-on therapy in refractory or relapsing AIC in adult patients, especially in multilineage AIC.
