Multifocal Necrotizing Leukoencephalopathy With Preferential Microglia Toxicity in a Patient Treated With Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells and Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Neurotoxic side effects of traditional systemic chemotherapy are abundantly described. The introduction of newly developed biologic therapeutics and cellular immune effector therapies has expanded the spectrum of neurotoxicity. Multifocal necrotizing leukoencephalopathy (MNL) is a pathologic condition of unknown etiology that has been observed in patients after prolonged critical illness. We observed a case of MNL in a patient treated with extensive multimodal therapy including chimeric antigen receptor T cells. A month before death, MRI demonstrated signs of inflammation and developing edema in brainstem structures. At autopsy the abnormal MRI regions showed a wave-like loss of microglia with hemorrhagic MNL in regions closest to the brain surface. These findings reiterate the susceptibility of white matter to antineoplastic therapy and suggest new mechanisms of neurotoxicity when traditional chemotherapy is combined with biologic or cellular effector therapy.
