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

The International Prognostic Index (IPI) is an essential prognostic tool for patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). To compare outcomes after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) in relation to IPI risk factors, we analyzed 515 LBCL patients receiving CART (n = 303) or alloSCT (n = 212) as ≥third-line treatment, registered with EBMT (2016-2021). Patients treated with CART were older (median 62.4 vs 51.1 years), had higher IPI scores (48.2% vs 20.8% high/high-intermediate risk), and a higher incidence of refractory disease (84.1% vs 34.6%). At 24 months, overall survival (OS) was 49% vs 41%, progression-free survival (PFS) was 37% vs 32%, relapse-incidence (RI) was 56% vs 38%, and non-relapse-mortality (NRM) was 7% vs 30%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, CART therapy showed superior OS primarily due to significantly lower NRM, while RI was higher. The survival benefit of CART was significant in patients with low/low-intermediate IPI (OS HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.31-0.60), but not observed in high-risk patients. Elevated LDH eliminated the PFS advantage of CART over alloSCT. Poor outcomes after CART in patients with high-risk disease support early preparation for alloSCT for eligible patients.
