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

Both anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy and CD20xCD3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are recommended as preferred regimens of third-line and subsequent treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of CAR-T and BsAbs in third- or later-line treatments for relapsed or refractory (R/R) FL. We reviewed trials from PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases up to January 31, 2025. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included complete response rate (CRR), 12-month progression-free survival (PFS), and grade ≥ 3 adverse events of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, and infection. Eight studies comprising 725 grade 1-3a FL patients with R/R disease after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled ORR was 0.93 (95% CI, 0.84–0.97) for CAR-T and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.77–0.85) for BsAbs (P = 0.02). For safety profiles, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of grade ≥ 3 CRS, neurotoxicity, and infections. Anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy exhibited higher ORR compared to CD20xCD3 BsAbs as third- or later-line treatment for R/R FL with comparable toxicities.Registration: PROSPERO 2025 CRD420251005804.
