Metabolic tumor volume and the survival of patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy: a meta-analysis.

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
Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) is a promising treatment for aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The aim of the meta-analysis was to determine the association between metabolic tumor volumes (MTV) derived on positron emission tomography before CAR-T infusion and the survival of patients with NHL. Methods: Relevant observational studies pertaining to the purpose of the meta-analysis were obtained through a search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase from inception of the databases to April 1, 2024. The data was combined using a random-effects model that accounted for the potential influence of between-study heterogeneity. Results: Fifteen observational studies were included. Pooled results showed that compared to those with a lower MTV, the NHL patients with a higher MTV before CAR-T infusion were associated with a poor progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48 to 2.02, p < 0.001; I Conclusion: A high MTV at baseline is associated with a poor survival of NHL patients after CAR-T.
