Clinical outcomes after idecabtagene vicleucel in older patients with multiple myeloma: a multicenter real-world experience.

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
abstractThe safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is not well described in older patients, a population that has higher frailty and comorbidities. In this multicenter retrospective study, we evaluated clinical outcomes along with frailty and geriatric characteristics such as comorbidities, polypharmacy, falls, neuropathy, organ dysfunction, and performance status in younger (aged <65 years) vs older (aged ≥65 years) patients who received commercial idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel). A total of 156 patients (n = 75, aged ≥65 years) were infused with ide-cel by data cutoff. In older patients (median age: 69 years; range, 65-83; 66.7% frail; 77.3% did not meet KarMMa eligibility criteria), with a median follow-up duration of 14.2 months, best overall response rate (ORR) was 86.7%, which was comparable with pivotal KarMMa study results (ORR: 73%). Median progression-free survival and overall survival in older patients were 9.1 months and 26.5 months, respectively. Grade ≥3 cytokine-release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome were observed in 1% and 4% of older patients, respectively. Compared with younger patients, the older patients had significantly higher prevalence of frailty, geriatric characteristics such as polypharmacy (≥5 drugs; 97%), ≥4 comorbidities (69%), and organ dysfunction (35%; P < .05). The safety and efficacy of ide-cel therapy were similar in younger and older patients. Frailty and geriatric characteristics such as polypharmacy, comorbidities, and organ dysfunction in older patients did not confer an inferior overall outcome.
