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

Over 60% of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL) patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells experience progressive disease. The impact of site-specific extranodal involvement on CAR-T outcomes has not been fully elucidated. This multicenter study included 516 R/R LBCL patients infused with CD19-targeted CAR T-cells; 177 (34%) had only-nodal (N), 66 (13%) only-extranodal (E) and 273 (53%) nodal and extranodal (NE) disease at time of CAR T-cells. The NE cohort included more patients with a poor performance status and high tumor burden. In the multivariable analysis, the NE group had a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (HR 1.27 [95%CI 0.98-1.64], p = 0.07) and overall survival (HR 1.41 [95%CI 1.05-1.88], p = 0.02) compared to N. Conversely, we did not identify efficacy differences between N and E patients. A higher number of extranodal sites and specific organ involvement (liver, adrenal glands, pancreas), were associated with shorter PFS. Finally, extranodal involvement increased at time of relapse, displaying heterogeneous individual site clearance rates. In conclusion, patients with concomitant nodal and extranodal involvement at time of CAR-T had worse outcomes, but this cohort harbored high-risk baseline characteristics. An increasing number of extranodal sites and certain disease locations were associated with lower CAR-T efficacy.
