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

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has greatly improved the prognosis of relapsed and refractory patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Early identification and intervention of patients who may respond poorly to CAR-T cell therapy will help to improve the efficacy. Ninety patients from a Chinese cohort who received CAR-T cell therapy and underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scans at the screening stage (median time to infusion 53.5 days, range 27-176 days), 1 month and 3 months after CAR-T cell infusion were analyzed, with RNA-sequencing conducted on 47 patients at the screening stage. Patients with maximum diameter of the largest lesion (Dmax) < 6 cm (N = 60) at screening stage showed significantly higher 3-month complete response rate (85.0% vs. 33.3%, P < 0.001), progression-free survival (HR 0.17; 95% CI 0.08-0.35, P < 0.001) and overall survival (HR 0.18; 95% CI 0.08-0.40, P < 0.001) than those with Dmax ≥ 6 cm (N = 30). Besides, at the screening stage, Dmax combined with extranodal involvement was more efficient in distinguishing patient outcomes. The best cut-off values for total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) and total lesion glycolysis (tTLG) at the screening stage were 50cm
