Review in Biomarker research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of extranodal lymphoma exclusively involving the CNS at the onset, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as the most common histological subtype. As PCNSL is a malignancy arising in an immune-privileged site, suboptimal delivery of systemic agents into tumor tissues results in poorer outcomes in PCNSL than in non-CNS DLBCLs. Commonly used regimens for PCNSL include high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy with rituximab for induction therapy and intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or whole-brain radiotherapy for consolidation therapy. Targeted agents against the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, microenvironment immunomodulation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeabilization appear to be promising in treating refractory/relapsed patients. Chimeric antigen receptor-T cells (CAR-T cells) have been shown to penetrate the BBB as a potential tool to manipulate this disease entity while controlling CAR-T cell-related encephalopathy syndrome. Future approaches may stratify patients according to age, performance status, molecular biomarkers and cellular bioinformation. This review summarizes the current therapies and emerging agents in clinical development for PCNSL treatment.
