CART-induced eosinophilic colitis with good response to corticosteroids and infliximab: a case report.
Article in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 (CART) therapy is an efficacious immunotherapy with known multi-organ toxicities, including gastrointestinal adverse events (GI-AEs). Eosinophilic colitis (EoC) is the inflammation of the intestine with diffuse eosinophilic infiltration. We present the case of a 66-year-old male who presented with diarrhea and biopsy-proven EoC two months after CART therapy for recurrent multiple myeloma (MM) and achieved a favorable response following corticosteroids and infliximab. A 66-year-old male with a past medical history of MM presented with watery stools 5-6 times per day. The patient was diagnosed with MM 10 years ago and achieved remission following an autologous stem cell transplant and maintenance chemotherapy. Three years ago, the patient developed recurrent MM, received CART therapy, and achieved cancer remission. Two months following CART therapy, he presented to the local emergency department (ED) for several weeks of diarrhea with a negative infectious workup. This disease course was associated with several ED visits and hospital admissions. He was started on budesonide without a significant response. Subsequent colonoscopy and resultant histology were consistent with EoC. The patient was started on an IV steroid with infliximab and a prednisone taper for refractory EoC. Following his third dose of infliximab and completing his prednisone taper, he reported a return to baseline symptomatically. CART is an immunotherapy associated with GI-AEs and requires corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants in select cases. EoC has been associated with cancer and cancer therapy and may require biological agents. Early recognition and treatment of immunotherapy toxicities are essential for successful management of gastrointestinal adverse events.
