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 T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment, but data in diverse urban populations remain limited. We report outcomes from a comprehensive cancer center in the Bronx. Montefiore Health System treated 79 DLBCL patients with CAR-T from March 2018 to July 2024. Demographics, comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and acute complications, including immune effector cell neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), cytokine release syndrome (CRS), cardiotoxicity, and pulmonary events, were tabulated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed up to five years. Multivariate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) were calculated for remission and 3-year mortality. CAR-T achieved complete remissions in 50.6%, partial remission in 16.5%, and progression in 22.8%. Cumulative mortality was 10.1% during treatment and 34.2% by five years. Complete remission reduced 3-year mortality (aHR 0.13; 95% CI 0.04-0.43). Complications included CRS (76.0%), ICANS (49.4%), neutropenic fever (58.2%), and sepsis (19.0%). ICANS correlated with CRS, ICU stay, and sepsis. Socioeconomic status was not linked to mortality, but comorbidities increased risk. CAR-T complete remission is an independent predictor of reduced mortality. High rates of complications, particularly CRS and ICAN, reinforce the need for vigilant monitoring and management strategies to enhance long-term outcomes.
