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

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D)-directed immunotherapies, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) products, bispecific T-cell engagers (BsAbs), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), have transformed the management of MM. Their adoption is now extending beyond tertiary centers following FDA modifications for CAR-T safety and the rapid uptake of off-the-shelf bispecifics suitable for community delivery. Clinicians outside specialist hubs must therefore be conversant with the full toxicity spectrum, including rare but high-consequence events, both for informed consent and for the work-up of post-therapy complications. In this narrative review, we report on the published literature around toxicities of approved and investigational BCMA- and GPRC5D-directed therapies, drawing on pivotal trial data, real-world cohorts, pharmacovigilance studies, and consensus management recommendations, with emphasis on practical recognition and risk mitigation. This review presents toxicities by a temporal pattern including acute (CRS, ICANS, infection, ocular, mucocutaneous), subacute (cranial nerve palsies, parkinsonism, myelitis, peripheral neuropathies IEC-associated enterocolitis and cardiovascular events), and long-term (prolonged cytopenias, second primary malignancies). We discuss validated risk stratification tools, such as the CAR-HEMATOTOX score, EASIX index, and multidisciplinary geriatric assessment, which predicts severe ICANS, infection, and resource utilization, supporting individualized pre-treatment planning. Safe delivery of immune therapies in community settings requires infrastructure for acute critical care, neurology, ophthalmology, infectious disease and long-term surveillance, but is achievable when paired with validated risk stratification and clear referral pathways.
