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

IntroductionTransformed follicular lymphoma (t-FL) is an aggressive lymphoma with limited prospective evidence to guide treatment, particularly in the relapsed setting. We summarized the current evidence on emerging cellular and targeted therapies that extend beyond conventional chemoimmunotherapy.MethodsThis scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and structured using the Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework. Adults with histologically confirmed or strongly suspected t-FL were the population of interest. Findings were synthesized narratively.ResultsSeventeen studies met inclusion criteria across three therapeutic categories: CAR-T therapy (7 interventional trials, n = 130 t-FL patients in reported subsets), CD20×CD3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs; n = 61 t-FL patients with extractable outcomes), and selinexor (n = 31 t-FL patients); together encompassing approximately 222 t-FL patients across primary interventional cohorts with extractable outcomes. CAR-T products achieved overall response rates (ORR) of 52-83% and complete response (CR) rates of 40-58%; randomized second-line trials favored axicabtagene ciloleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel over standard care. In real-world CAR-T series, ORR ranged from 82-92% and CR rates from 64-67% across registry cohorts. BsAbs were active in heavily pretreated disease (epcoritamab ORR 50%/CR 44%; glofitamab ORR 55%/CR 35%), with predominantly low-grade cytokine release syndrome. Selinexor showed more modest efficacy (ORR 39%/CR 16%) but durable benefit in complete responders.ConclusionsCurrent evidence supports a stepwise treatment framework: DLBCL-like induction at transformation, autologous stem-cell transplant in fit, chemosensitive responders, CAR-T as the preferred option at first relapse, BsAbs after CAR-T or when cellular therapy is not feasible, and selinexor in later-lines of therapy. Additional prospective t-FL-inclusive trials are needed to refine treatment selection and biomarker-guided sequencing.
