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.

Abstract

This study assessed the comparative efficacy of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in the open-label, phase II PILOT study (clinicaltrials.gov NCT03483103) versus conventional second-line (2L) chemotherapy regimens in the real world administered to patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who were not intended for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The liso-cel-treated cohort (N=61) was based on patients who received liso-cel in the PILOT study. The conventional chemotherapy cohort included patients who met PILOT eligibility criteria and received conventional 2L chemotherapy in the real-world clinical setting (N=273). After using the trimmed stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting method to balance cohorts according to baseline characteristics, there were statistically significant differences in all tested measures of efficacy. Compared with real-world conventional chemotherapy regimens, liso-cel demonstrated higher overall response rates (79.6% with liso-cel vs. 50.5% with conventional chemotherapy; relative risk [RR]: 1.6; P<0.0001) and complete response rates (53.1% vs. 24.0%; RR: 2.2; P<0.0001), longer median duration of response (12.1 vs. 4.3 months; hazard ratio [HR: 0.40; P=0.0001), longer median event-free survival (7.0 vs. 2.8 months; HR: 0.43; P<0.0001), longer median progression-free survival (7.0 vs. 2.9 months; HR: 0.46; P<0.0001), and longer median overall survival (not reached vs. 12.6 months; HR: 0.58; P=0.0256). Results from analyses applying various additional statistical approaches consistently favored outcomes with liso-cel over real-world conventional chemotherapy regimens. These results reinforce the efficacy of liso-cel as 2L therapy for patients with R/R LBCL who are not intended for HSCT.
