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

abstractCD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and CD20 targeting T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies (bispecs) have been approved in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma lately, heralding a new clinical setting in which patients are treated with both approaches, sequentially. The aim of our study was to investigate the selective pressure of CD19- and CD20-directed therapy on the clonal architecture in lymphoma. Using a broad analytical pipeline on 28 longitudinally collected specimen from 7 patients, we identified truncating mutations in the gene encoding CD20 conferring antigen loss in 80% of patients relapsing from CD20 bispecs. Pronounced T-cell exhaustion was identified in cases with progressive disease and retained CD20 expression. We also confirmed CD19 loss after CAR T-cell therapy and reported the case of sequential CD19 and CD20 loss. We observed branching evolution with re-emergence of CD20+ subclones at later time points and spatial heterogeneity for CD20 expression in response to targeted therapy. Our results highlight immunotherapy as not only an evolutionary bottleneck selecting for antigen loss variants but also complex evolutionary pathways underlying disease progression from these novel therapies.
