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

backgroundLisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), an anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy, has demonstrated efficacy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, real-world data from commercial settings outside the United States remain limited.

methodsTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of commercial-use liso-cel in Japan, we conducted a single-center retrospective study of patients with R/R LBCL who received commercial-use liso-cel at our institution between November 2021 and November 2024.

results56 patients received liso-cel infusion. The median age was 66.5 years, and 55.4% had primary refractory disease. Liso-cel was administered as second-line therapy in 14 patients (25.0%) and as third-line or later therapy in 42 patients (75.0%). The best overall response rate was 80.4%, with a complete response rate of 78.6%. At a median follow-up of 12.3 months, 1 year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival rates were 69.5% and 86.4%, respectively. The 1 year PFS rates were 68.5% for diffuse large B cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, 100% for primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBCL), and 30% for high-grade B cell lymphoma (HGBCL). Grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome were observed in one patient each. Multivariate analysis identified HGBCL subtype and higher pre-infusion metabolic tumor volume as independent adverse factors for PFS.

conclusionCommercial-use liso-cel demonstrated high response rates and favorable safety in Japanese patients with R/R LBCL. Patients with PMBCL had excellent outcomes, whereas those with HGBCL showed poorer prognosis, indicating a need for further therapeutic strategies.
