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

Patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas (rrLBCL) can achieve long-term remission after CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART19). However, more than half of recipients will experience treatment failure. Thus, approaches are needed to identify high-risk patients who may benefit from alternative or consolidative therapy. We evaluated low-pass whole-genome sequencing (lpWGS) of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) before CART19 as a new approach for risk stratification. We performed lpWGS on pretreatment plasma samples from 122 patients at time of leukapheresis who received standard-of-care CART19 for rrLBCL to define DNA copy number alterations (CNAs). In multivariable selection, high focal CNA score (FCS) denoting genomic instability was the most significant pretreatment variable associated with inferior 3-month complete response rates (28% vs 56%, P = .0029), progression-free survival (PFS; P = .0007; hazard ratio, 2.11), and overall survival (OS; P = .0026; hazard ratio, 2.10). We identified 34 unique focal CNAs in 108 (89%) patients; of these, deletion 10q23.3 leading to loss of FAS death receptor was the most highly associated with poor outcomes, leading to inferior PFS (P < .0001; hazard ratio, 3.49) and OS (P = .0027; hazard ratio, 2.68). By combining FCS with traditional markers of increased tumor bulk (elevated lactate dehydrogenase and >1 extranodal site), we built a simple risk model that could reliably risk stratify patients. Thus, lpWGS of cfDNA is a minimally invasive assay that could rapidly identify high-risk patients and may guide patient selection for and targeted therapies to evaluate in future clinical trials.
