Persistent Cytopenia After CD19 CAR T Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL Patients Could Be a Predictor of Efficacy and Side Effects.
Article in Cell transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hematological toxicity is a severe adverse event (AE) in anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying prolonged cytopenia and the relationship between persistent cytopenia, efficacy, and AEs after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy are unknown. Therefore, this study explored whether persistent cytopenia after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL can predict therapeutic efficacy and AEs. Thirty-eight patients with R/R DLBCL were enrolled in an anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy clinical trial. Patients received lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before CAR T cell therapy. The degree and duration of cytopenia, clinical response, proportion of CAR T cells, interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, AEs, and follow-up were observed after therapy. Grades 3-4 persistent cytopenia occurred in 14 patients with R/R DLBCL, who recovered 8-18 weeks after CAR T cell infusion. These patients achieved an objective response rate (ORR) for anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy. In patients who achieved ORR, the incidence of Grades 3-4 persistent cytopenia was higher in patients with a high tumor load than in those without a high tumor load. The mean peaks of IL-6 and anti-CD19 CAR T cells and the cytokine release syndrome grade in patients with Grades 3-4 persistent cytopenia were higher than those in patients without persistent cytopenia. Anti-CD19 CAR T cells were observed 21 and 28 days after infusion, and patients had Grades 3-4 persistent cytopenia. Progression-free and overall survival were higher in patients with Grades 3-4 persistent cytopenia than in those without cytopenia. Therefore, persistent cytopenia after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL can predict therapeutic efficacy and AEs, allowing clinicians to determine the efficiency of CD-19 CAR T cell therapy and the associated AEs.
