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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells are a novel immunotherapy available for patients with refractory/relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In this indication, clinical trials have demonstrated that CAR T-cells achieve high rates of response, complete response, and long-term response (up to 80%, 60%, and 40%, respectively). Nonetheless, the majority of patients ultimately relapsed. This review provides an overview about the current and future role of medical imaging in guiding the management of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with CAR T-cells. It discusses the value of predictive and prognostic biomarkers to better stratify the risk of relapse, and provide a patient-tailored therapeutic strategy. At baseline, high tumor volume (assessed on CT-scan or on [18F]-FDG PET/CT) is a prognostic factor associated with treatment failure. Response assessment has not been studied extensively yet. Available data suggests that current response assessment developed on CT-scan or on [18F]-FDG PET/CT for cytotoxic systemic therapies remains relevant to estimate lymphoma response to CAR T-cell therapy. Nonetheless, atypical patterns of response and progression have been observed and should be further analyzed. The potential advantages as well as limitations of artificial intelligence and radiomics as tools providing high throughput quantitative imaging features is described.
