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-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, yet it carries significant risks, including acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we investigated the risk factors and clinical impact of AKI in patients undergoing CAR-T cell therapy. This retrospective study involved hematologic patients treated with CAR-T therapy. Clinical and laboratory data were collected, and clinical outcomes were monitored during follow-up after CAR-T infusion. AKI was defined according to KDIGO criteria. The outcome measures included early mortality, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Among the 48 patients analyzed, 14 (29%) developed AKI, with a mean onset of 6 days after CAR-T infusion. The risk of AKI was associated with baseline performance status (OR 8.65, IC95% 6.2-12, p = 0.032) and the development of severe cytokine release syndrome post-therapy (OR 16.4 95%CI 1.9-138.5, p = 0.01). Patients with AKI more frequently required intensive care. Furthermore, severe AKI was independently associated with worse clinical outcomes, including reduced OS and DFS (HR 18.2, 95%CI 2.6-27.3, p = 0.003). Additionally, patients who developed AKI post-CAR-T therapy were more likely to progress to chronic kidney disease during follow-up. In conclusion, frail patients undergoing CAR-T therapy are at an increased risk of developing AKI, which can significantly affect both short- and long-term outcomes. Preventive strategies and early recognition of AKI are essential in these patients.
