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

Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rare subtype of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by poor clinical outcomes. It is more common in East Asian and Latin American countries. Despite the introduction of asparaginase/pegaspargase-based chemotherapy, the prognosis of patients with advanced NKTCL needs to be improved, and few salvage treatment options are available for relapsed/refractory patients who fail chemotherapy. Although many unknowns remain, novel treatment strategies to further improve outcomes are urgently needed. Immunotherapy has emerged and shown favorable antitumor activity in NKTCL, including monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors, other receptors on the cellular membrane, and cellular immunotherapy, which could enhance immune cells attack on tumor cells. In this review, we provide an overview of recent immunotherapy in NKTCL, focusing on programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, immunomodulatory agents, and other targeted agents, as well as the current progress and challenges in the field.
