PET-guided early identification of CAR-T candidates in diffuse large b-cell lymphoma: a multidisciplinary expert consensus.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeThis expert consensus aims to define how 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]-fluoro-D-glucose ([¹⁸F]FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can be systematically integrated into clinical pathways for early identification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients who may benefit from chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. The main research question is how PET-derived parameters and timing can optimize risk stratification and guide timely referral for advanced therapies.
methodsA multidisciplinary panel of nuclear medicine physicians and hematologists conducted a structured consensus process based on current literature, international guidelines, and expert discussion. Key clinical scenarios and statements were evaluated across multiple meetings to assess the role of PET/CT at baseline, interim, and end-of-treatment stages.
resultsPET/CT provides critical prognostic information throughout the disease course. Baseline quantitative metrics (e.g., metabolic tumor volume) improve risk stratification beyond conventional indices. Interim PET, particularly using Deauville score and the change in the maximum standardized uptake value, enables early identification of high-risk or refractory patients. End-of-treatment PET remains essential for response assessment and therapeutic decision-making. Standardization of acquisition, reporting, and interpretation is necessary to enhance reproducibility and clinical integration.
conclusionPET/CT should be considered a central biomarker in DLBCL management, enabling earlier identification of high-risk patients and facilitating timely CAR-T referral. Harmonized, multidisciplinary implementation is essential to optimize outcomes and improve access to potentially curative therapies.
