Cytomegalovirus Infection After Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy or Bispecific Antibody Treatment for Hematologic Malignancies.
Article in Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLimited data exists on the incidence of CMV infections after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell or bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapy for hematologic malignancies.
methodsWe reviewed medical records of patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CAR T-cells or BsAbs between July 2018 and October 2024 in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea. CMV infections were detected using CMV DNA qPCR assays performed within 180 days after CAR T-cell infusion or the last BsAb treatment. Secondary outcomes were the occurrence of clinically significant CMV infections (CS-CMVi) and end-organ diseases.
resultsOf 179 patients, 76 (42%) received CAR T-cell therapy, and 103 (58%) received BsAb therapy. The incidence of CMV infection was 62% in BsAb recipients, and 43% in CAR T-cell recipients. Two (6.1% of total CMV infections) CAR T-cell recipients had CS-CMVi, and 1 (3.0%) developed possible CMV pneumonia. In the BsAb group, 10 (16% of total CMV infections) patients received antiviral therapy, and 4 (6.3%) had end-organ diseases. Receiving three or more previous systemic chemotherapy regimens in the CAR T-cell group was associated with increased CMV infection risks (HR 4.7, 95% CI 1.88-11.8, p < 0.001), and older age in the BsAb group had a trend toward having more CMV infection (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.05, p = 0.06).
conclusionApproximately 43% and 62% of patients receiving CAR T-cell and BsAb therapy had CMV infection, with 1%-4% developing CMV diseases. Effective strategies for preventing CMV infections in these patients are warranted.
