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 CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling axis governs leukemic stem cell dynamics within the bone marrow niche, driving migration, survival, and therapy resistance. This review examines a CXCR4-directed theranostic strategy for acute leukemia using Pentixafor and Pentixather. Pentixafor enables non-invasive visualization of CXCR4 expression, while Pentixather delivers targeted radiotherapy to CXCR4-expressing leukemic cells. We analyze how disrupting CXCR4-mediated leukemic cell-niche interactions enhances treatment efficacy and improves clinical outcomes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By integrating imaging and therapy, this approach offers a novel strategy to overcome microenvironment-mediated chemoresistance in hematologic malignancies. It advances personalized medicine by stratifying patients for CXCR4-targeted therapy and preserves functional hematopoietic niches, ultimately improving patient care.
