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

purpose of reviewRecurrent primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has remained a challenging disease to treat with high rates of relapse with relatively short remissions. The purpose of this review was to assess the current landscape of treatment for recurrent PCNSL. RECENT

findingsClinical trials have investigated treatments including methotrexate regimens, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T, IRAK4 inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, and other targeted agents. Despite significant overall response rates (ORR), most studies yielded short nondurable remissions. More recent trials have therefore pursued combination of these novel agents. Preliminary data from selected active trials for recurrent PCNSL have indicated notable ORRs ranging from 50 to 94% and tolerable safety profiles. Novel treatments have shown promise in treatment for recurrent PCNSL, significantly increasing available options at recurrence. Due to nondurable monotherapy responses, combination therapy of investigational agents has emerged as a consensus path forward for future clinical trials.
