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

Purpose: Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) is a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) approved after 1 prior line of therapy (LOT). Non-immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) neurologic events (NEs) may occur following infusion. This real-world study evaluated non-ICANS NE onset and management among patients with RRMM treated with cilta-cel. Patients and Methods: Electronic medical records from Loopback Analytics (02/2022-05/2025) were used, supplemented with physician notes. Adults treated with cilta-cel after 1-3 and ≥4 prior LOT were included (N=171). New-onset non-ICANS NEs included cranial nerve palsy (CNP), parkinsonism, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Clinical outcomes among these patients were described. Results: Among 171 patients, 73 had 1-3 prior LOT and 98 had ≥4 prior LOT. Among patients with 1-3 prior LOT (median follow-up: 6.1 months), CNP occurred in 4 patients, while no parkinsonism or Guillain-Barré syndrome were observed. Following CNP onset, symptoms improved among 3 patients. Among patients with ≥4 prior LOT (median follow-up: 17.4 months), CNP occurred in 3 patients, while parkinsonism and Guillain-Barré syndrome each occurred in 1 patient. All patients with CNP had symptom improvement and the patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome had symptom resolution. Median peak ALC (10 Conclusion: This real-world cohort showed low incidence of CNP, parkinsonism, and Guillain-Barré syndrome following cilta-cel. Elevated post-infusion ALC warrants further investigation into its role as a biomarker to inform monitoring and management strategies, consistent with prior reports. Most patients with CNP reported improvement, the patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome reported resolution, all patients with available response assessments responded to cilta-cel, and no deaths were reported.
