Lymphocyte/monocyte to lactate dehydrogenase ratio prior to lymphodepletion impact the outcomes of patients with diffused large B cell lymphoma undergoing CAR-T cell therapy.

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
Factors associated with outcomes of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have not been fully elucidated. We explored the impact of the prelymphodepletion (pre-LD) lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and its ratio to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (LMR/LDH) on the efficacy and prognosis of 60 patients with R/R DLBCL undergoing CAR-T cell therapy. The optimal cutoff values for pre-LD LMR and LMR/LDH were 3.583 and 0.0103, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR)s were higher in patients with high pre-LD LMR or LMR/LDH than those with low pre-LD LMR or LMR/LDH (ORR, 100% vs. 65.79%, P = 0.006 and 96.15% vs. 38.24%, P < 0.0001, respectively). Pre-LD LMR/LDH was an independent factor associated with ORR (P = 0.010, odds ratio = 18.757; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.046-171.975) by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Patients with high pre-LD LMR/LDH had significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) (median PFS, 29.73 vs. 2.47 months, P < 0.0001) and overall survival (OS) (median OS, not reached vs. 7.4 months, P = 0.0002) than those with low pre-LD LMR/LDH. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre-LD LMR/LDH and ORR were independent factors affecting PFS (P = 0.030, hazard ratio [HR] = 2.561; 95% CI 1.093-5.999 and P = 0.024, HR = 2.202; 95% CI 1.22-4.369, respectively); pre-LD LMR/LDH was an independent factor affecting OS (P = 0.029, HR = 3.331; 95% CI 1.131-9.807). In conclusion, the pre-LD LMR/LDH was an independent factor associated with ORR and an independent prognostic factor in patients with R/R DLBCL undergoing CAR-T cell therapy.
