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

Glofitamab is a CD3-CD20 bispecific antibody used to treat B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We describe three cases of enterocolitis occurring with glofitamab at a single institution. Similarities between cases include onset post cycle 4-5, moderately elevated faecal calprotectin, abnormal bowel avidity on positron emission tomography scan (2/3), absence of CD20-positive B cells on gut histology and steroid responsiveness. There was variability in the area of gastrointestinal inflammation, severity of symptoms, histological findings and impact on subsequent therapy. The mechanism for this phenomenon is unknown. Possible explanations include B-regulatory cell depletion and T-cell recruitment to the gastrointestinal tract because of CD20 antigen density. Clinicians should consider this toxicity in glofitamab-treated patients presenting with sustained diarrhoea or abdominal pain when infectious colitis has been comprehensively excluded.
