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

purposeThe introduction of CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) for treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) gives hope to patients with otherwise dismal prognosis. Therapy outcomes, however, depend upon selection of patients and accurate early identification of non-responders. Patients treated with CAR-T usually undergo [

methodsA total of 138 PET-CT scans (30 TD, 42 TT, 44 M1, 22 M3) of 48 patients treated with CAR-T were included. SUVmax, TMTV, and TLG were calculated in all scans. Response was assessed using the Deauville scale and ΔSUVmax method. Overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoint. Median follow-up was 12.8 (IQR 6.4-16.0) months from CAR-T infusion.

resultsIn a univariate analysis, TD-SUVmax > 17.1 and TT-SUVmax > 12.1 were associated with shorter OS (Pv < 0.05). In a multivariate analysis, three factors were significantly associated with shorter OS: TD-SUVmax > 17.1 (HR 10.3; Pv < 0.01), LDH > 450 U/l (HR 7.7; Pv < 0.01), and ECOG score > 1 (HR 5.5; Pv = 0.04). Data from TD and TT PET-CT scans were not predictive of toxicity. On M1-PET-CT, patients with a Deauville score > 3 had significantly shorter OS (median 7.9 months, versus not reached, Pv < 0.01). ΔSUVmax ≤ 66% on M1-PET-CT predicted shorter OS when M1-SUVmax was compared to TD-SUVmax (Pv = 0.02) but not to TT-SUVmax (Pv = 0.38).

conclusionPre-treatment SUVmax may guide patient selection for CAR-T therapy. On M1-PET-CT, Deauville score and ΔSUVmax from TD may identify early therapy failure. These parameters are easy to obtain and should be included in the PET-CT report.
