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

T-cell fitness can be impaired in patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) planned for CART (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy). Although absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at the time of leukapheresis has been shown to associate with outcomes in patients with LBCL treated axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), no threshold has been identified. This is a multicenter retrospective study including 1 axi-cel training and validation cohort, and 1 mixed-product validation cohort. The change-point method was used to identify an ALC threshold associating with optimal progression-free survival (PFS). Three hundred seventy-nine patients were included in the axi-cel training cohort. ALC as a continuous variable was associated with complete response on day 30 (median, 0.79 × 10
