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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) describes a severe, hyperinflammatory syndrome that can originate from diverse etiologies, often requiring critical care level management. Primary HLH, initially described in the 1940s, derives from genetic defects that result in uncontrolled immune activation. Although chemotherapy and immunosuppressive agents can temporarily quell inflammation, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative option. In 2025, HCT is indicated for primary HLH and some etiologies of secondary HLH but remains challenging due to both disease and transplant-related inflammation. Additionally, new cellular therapy approaches to treat malignancy, such as chimeric antigen receptor T cells, can trigger a spectrum of hyperinflammatory complications. Herein, we review the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and evolving management approaches of primary and secondary HLH, ultimately informing our management of hyperinflammation in the setting of new cell therapies.
