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 transformed the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), yet outcomes remain heterogenous. The prognostic role of body composition in this context is unknown. We retrospectively analyzed 108 RRMM patients treated with anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T-cell therapy. Pre-treatment Computed tomography imaging was utilized to quantify total adipose tissue (TAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and skeletal muscle area to assess sarcopenia. Longitudinal flow cytometric and single-cell multi-omic analyses were conducted to characterize the quantitative and qualitative influences of body composition on the immune microenvironment. Patients with BMI < 25 kg/m
