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 (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the management of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma. However, evidence in the ultra-elderly population remains scarce. We report a 90-year-old woman with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma transformed from follicular lymphoma who received lisocabtagene maraleucel. Despite advanced age, preserved cognition, intact instrumental activities of daily living, and acceptable organ reserve supported her candidacy for CAR T-cell therapy. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) developed as grade 1 (day 1, 38.0 °C) and grade 2 (day 3, hypoxemia to 6 L/min), which resolved after early tocilizumab and dexamethasone. No immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome or infectious complications occurred. Grade 2-4 cytopenia persisted transiently but was managed with supportive care, and she was discharged on day 28. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of a nonagenarian Asian patient successfully treated with CAR T-cell therapy, highlighting the feasibility and tolerability of this approach and emphasizing the importance of geriatric assessment and prompt CRS management for safe delivery in the very elderly.
