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

Hematologic disorders, including malignant and autoimmune conditions, present persistent clinical challenges characterized by relapse, treatment resistance, and profound immune dysregulation. While conventional immunotherapies have advanced, their efficacy is frequently limited by HLA downregulation and effector T cell exhaustion. In this context, γδ T cells offer a promising therapeutic alternative. Recognizing antigens independently of MHC restriction, γδ T cells possess intrinsic tissue-homing capabilities and exhibit dual cytotoxic and immunoregulatory functions. These properties make them highly suitable candidates for allogeneic, "off-the-shelf" cellular therapies where αβ T cells face alloreactive limitations. This review systematically synthesizes the immunobiology of γδ T cells, exploring the functional heterogeneity of specific subsets and their regulation within the tumor microenvironment (TME). We critically evaluate recent preclinical and clinical evidence supporting adoptive transfer, CAR-γδ T strategies, and combination regimens across acute leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and immune cytopenias. Furthermore, we address critical translational barriers-including
