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

After ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) in multiple myeloma, 5% of patients can develop parkinsonism, with a high fatality rate. The pathogenesis and optimal therapy of parkinsonism from B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy are unknown. Parkinson's disease occurs from the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However, in cilta-cel-associated parkinsonism, dopamine transporter imaging is normal, rendering traditional agents such as carbidopa/levodopa ineffective. Thus, the pathogenesis of cilta-cel-associated parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease is distinct. As CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma is expanding and moving to earlier lines, the need to optimize therapy for parkinsonism, a potentially life-threatening complication, becomes more urgent. This report presents the first documented cases of two patients with immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome and cilta-cel-associated parkinsonism, effectively treated with ruxolitinib.
