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

Objective: To map the journey and needs of patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, providing a reference for improving the comprehensive management of patients receiving clinical CAR-T cell therapy, as well as enhancing patients' overall well-being. Methods: A qualitative grounded theory approach was used. From August 2024 to January 2025, patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy at a university hospital in Wuhan, China, were enrolled through purposive sampling. The research data were collected from descriptive observation, focused observation, and selective observation. The data were analysed with open, axial and selective coding. Patient journey mappings were employed to visualize information regarding patients' experiences and needs. Results: Three main categories, seven subcategories and one core category were used to map the journey of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy. The core category was curing the disease, and the main categories were complex physical journeys characterized by the struggle against discomfort as a side effect of treatment, individualized psychological journeys created by the hope of a cure and anxiety over side effects, the unpredictable physiological challenges and emotional upheavals inherent to progressively build multidimensional care needs. Patient journey mapping of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy was designed. Conclusions: The experiences and multidimensional care needs of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy vary at different stages of treatment. Therefore, it is essential that health care professionals provide attention and support at these times. Patient journey mapping may contribute as a review and audit tool, or a mechanism for providing proactive patient-centred care.
