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

Patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and multiple myeloma have poor outcomes. CAR-T completely changed the landscape of therapy options, improving not only response rates but also survival outcomes. Hematological toxicity after chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR-T) is of increasing interest, being a recognized prognostic factor in this setting. We report our experience with early hematological toxicity after CAR-T therapy and point some important aspects regarding the Hematotox-Score. We identified a strong negative correlation between Hematotox-Score and platelet count at first day of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Hematotox-Score was predictive of hemoglobin levels at day 28 after CAR-T. Ferritin remained high after 28 days post CAR-T in patients with high Hematotox-Score. Hematotox-Score did not associate with mortality in our cohort. We did not find any significant association between the hematological parameters (hemoglobin, platelets, and neutrophil counts), ferritin, LDH at first day of CRS and mortality. In conclusion, we demonstrate that Hematotox-Score is predictive of early hematological toxicity after CAR-T. Although, patients with higher degree of hematological toxicities have poorer survival outcomes, Hematotox-Score lacks predictive potential, probably due to its limitations. Further development of hematological scores predicting survival outcome in the context of CAR-T are needed.
