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

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is effective for relapsed/refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, delays between apheresis and infusion frequently occur due to limited facility capacity and prolonged bridging therapy, and the clinical impact of such delays remains uncertain. We retrospectively analysed R/R DLBCL patients who underwent CAR-T-cell therapy at Kyoto University Hospital. Among 90 patients, the median apheresis to infusion interval was 66 days (range, 28-203). Patients were categorized into delayed (≥66 days) and non-delayed (<66 days) groups. Baseline characteristics at infusion were similar, whereas adverse features such as extranodal involvement and stable/progressive disease (SD/PD) were less common in the delayed group. Multivariate analysis identified delayed infusion as a significant negative prognostic factor for progression-free survival (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.63-6.00; p = 0.001), along with extranodal involvement (aHR 2.39; p = 0.004), SD/PD (aHR 2.66; p = 0.005), bulky disease (aHR 3.08; p = 0.008) and treatment with tisa-cel (aHR 5.26; p = 0.001). Overall survival was also inferior in the delayed group (aHR 2.53, 95% CI 1.29-4.96; p = 0.007). Minimizing apheresis to infusion interval through improved workflows, institutional capacity and avoiding prolonged bridging in non-responders may enhance outcomes.
