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

abstractChimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies are effective in many hematologic malignancies; however, adverse events including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) can affect a significant number of patients. Those who develop refractory CRS or ICANS have few treatment options. Siltuximab, a monoclonal antibody binding circulating interleukin-6, has been proposed to have clinical activity in both CRS and ICANS. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of siltuximab treatment for CRS and ICANS after CAR-T therapy in a real-world cohort from 6 academic centers. Fifty-four patients were evaluated. Sixteen patients had CRS previously treated with tocilizumab and 17 patients had ICANS previously treated with steroids. Of the patients with CRS at the time of siltuximab, 75% had improvement in CRS grade. Of the patients with ICANS at the time of siltuximab, 60% had improvement in ICANS grade. To our knowledge, this is the largest cohort of patients treated with siltuximab for CRS and/or ICANS after CAR-T therapies. Siltuximab appeared to be effective for both CRS and ICANS, including previously treated toxicities. These data support the use of siltuximab in CRS and ICANS as well as provide rationale for future prospective studies.
