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 represents a revolutionary immunotherapy modality that has fundamentally transformed treatment paradigms for relapsed/refractory (r/r) hematological malignancies. For patients with r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy is currently approved in second-line and post-second-line settings, achieving substantial clinical responses in selected B-cell leukemia/lymphoma subgroups. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of B-cell lymphoma patients exhibit primary resistance or unsatisfactory long-term disease control after CAR-T infusion, substantially constraining therapeutic utility across both hematological and solid malignancies. Beyond the well-documented phenomenon of target antigen (CD19) loss, multifaceted resistance mechanisms against CAR-T therapy have been increasingly recognized. This review comprehensively explores potential resistance mechanisms in DLBCL through mechanistic insights from four interconnected dimensions: molecular alterations underlying tumor-associated CD19 expression loss; cell-intrinsic factors driving CAR-T cell differentiation arrest and functional exhaustion; immunomodulatory escape programs within the tumor microenvironment; and innate tumor cell resistance pathways. Elucidating these determinants provides critical foundations for developing novel therapeutic targets to overcome resistance. This knowledge promises to guide rational engineering of next-generation CAR-T cells with enhanced anti-tumor potency and reduced toxicity profiles, ultimately improving clinical outcomes across diverse malignancies.
