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.

Abstract

introductionNo head-to-head clinical trials have compared CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies for treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL). We conducted matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs) between lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), and tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), to establish their relative efficacy and safety in patients with third-line or later (3L+) relapsed or refractory (R/R) FL.

methodsSources included individual patient data from TRANSCEND FL (NCT04245839) for liso-cel, summary-level data from ZUMA-5 (NCT03105336) for axi-cel, and summary-level data from ELARA (NCT03568461) for tisa-cel. For each MAIC, TRANSCEND FL patients who met inclusion/exclusion criteria for the comparator study were included. MAICs adjusted for clinically relevant prognostic factors identified a priori to minimize population differences between studies.

resultsAfter adjustment, liso-cel had a higher complete response (CR) rate than axi-cel (response ratio [RR] 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07‒1.43) and tisa-cel (RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.11‒1.68) and a higher overall response rate (ORR) than tisa-cel (RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.01‒1.24). Estimates numerically favored liso-cel for progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, and time to next treatment, though were not statistically significant. Liso-cel demonstrated better safety than axi-cel, with significantly reduced odds ratios (ORs) of grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS; OR 0.07, 95% CI 0.01‒0.58), tocilizumab use for CRS (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.09‒0.44), any-grade neurological events (NEs; OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.05‒0.38), and infections (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.19‒0.93). Liso-cel and tisa-cel had similar safety profiles overall, excluding any-grade NEs, which was significantly lower for liso-cel (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.08‒0.45).

conclusionAfter adjustment for population differences, liso-cel demonstrated a higher CR rate and numerically favorable trends of survival compared to axi-cel and tisa-cel with improved safety compared to axi-cel, and similar safety compared to tisa-cel. These findings underscore liso-cel as a potentially preferred CAR T cell therapy for 3L+ R/R FL. Graphical Abstract available for this article.
