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

CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has become a standard treatment for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL). While the benefits of CAR-T cell treatment are clear in the general patient population, there remains a relative scarcity of real-world evidence regarding its efficacy and toxicity in patients (pts) aged ≥70 years with DLBCL. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis including 172 r/r DLBCL pts with CAR-T cell treatment, axicabtagene ciloleucel or tisagenlecleucel, between 2019 and 2023 at three tertiary centers. Pts were grouped by age at CAR-T infusion (<70 vs. ≥70 years). Subsequently, descriptive and survival analyses, including propensity score matching, were performed to compare outcomes between both age groups. We identified 109 pts aged <70 and 63 pts aged ≥70 years. Overall response rates for both age groups were comparable (77.7% vs. 78.3%;
