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

Background: Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a common complication of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Current practice guidelines recommend the immune effector cell-associated encephalopathy (ICE) score for the assessment and monitoring of ICANS. Objective: To demonstrate modifications to ICE score to patients with vision and hearing impairments or who are who are from non-native-speaking backgrounds. Methods: We discuss five cases and the modifications made to adapt the ICE score to meet patients' needs. Results: Modifications to ICE score was feasible and it assisted with CAR T cell therapy outcome monitoring. Discussion: These cases highlight the need for flexible and patient-tailored strategies and the importance of collaboration between multidisciplinary teams and patients' families/caregivers when monitoring patients for ICANS after CAR T-cell therapy.
