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.

Abstract

abstractCD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can induce durable remissions in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas (R/R LBCLs), but 60% of patients do not respond or relapse. Biological mechanisms explaining lack of response are emerging, but they are largely unsuccessful in predicting disease response at the patient level. Additionally, to maximize the cost-effectiveness of CAR T-cell therapy, biomarkers able to predict response and survival before CAR T-cell manufacturing would be desirable. We performed transcriptomic and functional evaluations of leukapheresis products in 95 patients with R/R LBCL enrolled in a prospective observational study, to identify correlates of response and survival to tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel. A signature composed of 4 myeloid genes expressed by T cells isolated from leukapheresis products is able to identify patients with a very short progression-free survival (PFS), highlighting the impact of monocytes in CAR T-cell therapy response. Accordingly, response and PFS were also negatively influenced by high circulating absolute monocyte counts at the time of leukapheresis. The combined evaluation of peripheral blood monocytes at the time of leukapheresis and the 4-gene signature represents a novel tool to identify patients with R/R LBCL at very high risk of progression after CAR T-cell therapy and could be used to plan trials evaluating CAR T cells vs other novel treatments or allogeneic CAR T cells. However, it also highlights the need to incorporate monocyte depletion strategies for better CAR T production.
