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

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) confined to the central nervous system. Most of the patients eventually develop relapsed/refractory (R/R) PCNSL, and the overall prognosis for PCNSL remains dismal. Recently, gene sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and single-cell sequencing platforms have provided a large amount of data revealing the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and drug resistance in PCNSL, including the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in tumor cells, tumor heterogeneity, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Advances in molecular pathology studies for PCNSL have led to identifying new therapeutic targets and developing novel drugs. New therapeutic strategies, such as creating small molecule targeted agents, immunomodulatory drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, have brought new hope for patients with PCNSL, especially for R/R PCNSL. This review presents recent advances in the treatment of PCNSL, reviews and discusses the efficacy and challenges of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and provides an outlook on the future development of PCNSL treatment strategies.
