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

This single-center, retrospective study analyzed vaccine responses in patients who received post-Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy vaccination between 2018 and 2024. Vaccinations were administered according to EBMT/CIBMTR recommendations and pathogen-specific IgG responses to 12 vaccine-preventable infections were assessed. Seroprotection was defined by established cut-offs or a significant fold increase in titers. A total of 73 patients that had not received intravenous immunoglobulins within the eight weeks prior to pre- or post titer were included. The median time to vaccination initiation was 13 months (range 6-66) post-CAR T. Pre and post-vaccination titers were available for 49 patients. Pre-vaccination seroprotection was high (> 85%) for tetanus and poliovirus. Among patients not seroprotected prior to vaccination, vaccine response rates were high for tetanus and polio (100%), moderate for diphtheria (75%) and haemophilus influenzae type b (62%), and lower for pertussis (48%), hepatitis A (43%), hepatitis B (44%), and pneumococcal disease (33%). CD19 CAR T recipients had higher pre-vaccination seroprotection rates than BCMA recipients, but vaccine responses did not differ significantly between groups. Pre-vaccination IgA levels were significantly associated with vaccine response, and absolute B-cell counts trended higher among responders (p = 0.054). Our findings highlight the importance of immune reconstitution in vaccine responses post-CAR T.
