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 use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has become more widespread in recent years, most commonly for hematologic malignancies. This therapy can be potentially associated with neurotoxic side effects. We present a patient with refractory multiple myeloma who developed diplopia, bilateral upward gaze limitation, abducens palsy, bilateral facial nerve palsy, and thoracic sensory radiculopathy following a course of CAR-T therapy, which were suspected to represent delayed immune effector cell-associated nerve palsies (IEC-NPs). His symptoms progressed despite oral and intravenous steroids. Subsequent intrathecal methotrexate and systemic cyclophosphamide resulted in acute symptomatic improvement and eventual resolution of diplopia and gradual recovery of extraocular movements and facial nerve palsies.
