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

Genetically engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have become an effective treatment option for several advanced B-cell malignancies. Haematological side-effects, classified in 2023 as immune effector cell-associated haematotoxicity (ICAHT), are very common and can predispose for clinically relevant infections. As haematopoietic reconstitution after CAR T-cell therapy differs from chemotherapy-associated myelosuppression, a novel classification system for early and late ICAHT has been introduced. Furthermore, a risk stratification score named CAR-HEMATOTOX has been developed to identify candidates at high risk of ICAHT, thereby enabling risk-based interventional strategies. Therapeutically, growth factor support with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the mainstay of treatment, with haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) boosts available for patients who are refractory to G-CSF (if available). Although the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood, translational studies from the past 3 years suggest that CAR T-cell-induced inflammation and baseline haematopoietic function are key contributors to prolonged cytopenia. In this Review, we provide an overview of the spectrum of haematological toxicities after CAR T-cell therapy and offer perspectives on future translational and clinical developments.
