Efficacy and safety comparison of CAR-T and blinatumomab immunotherapy as bridge-to-transplant strategies in relapsed/refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundDespite recent advances, B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remains a therapeutic challenge. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) provides a potential cure but is hindered by various limitations. Emerging immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy and blinatumomab, have shown potential as bridging strategies to HSCT in relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at Tongji Hospital from March 2017 to March 2023 and involved 36 R/R B-ALL patients who underwent HSCT. Prior to transplantation, 27 patients received CD19/CD22 CAR-T therapy, while 9 received blinatumomab. The outcomes assessed included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), graft-versus-host disease-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM), with comparisons between treatment groups. Hematopoietic reconstitution and transplant-related complications were also evaluated.
resultsThe median follow-up time was 28.07 months (range: 2.29-92.21 months). The 2-year OS, PFS, GRFS, and NRM rates of the entire cohort were 76.54%, 54.97%, 40.12%, and 9.93%, respectively. In the CAR-T and blinatumomab treatment groups before transplantation, the 2-year OS rates were 73.89% and 88.89% (P = 0.862), the PFS rates were 59.03% and 44.44% (P = 0.501), the GRFS rates were 47.86% and 13.89% (P = 0.083), and the NRM rates were 8.52% and 11.11% (P = 0.713), respectively. The safety profiles were similar, with no significant differences observed in hematopoietic reconstitution, infection, incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), or chronic GVHD incidence between the CAR-T and blinatumomab groups.
conclusionCAR-T and blinatumomab therapies demonstrate comparable safety and efficacy as bridging treatments to HSCT in patients with R/R B-ALL. Further studies are needed to optimize these treatment strategies.
