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

Talicabtagene autoleucel (tali-cel) is the first humanized CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy approved in India for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Here, we integrated clinical and manufacturing operations through a centralized coordination unit (CCU) and evaluated tali-cel implementation. Patients with r/r B-ALL (n = 105) and r/r B-NHL (n = 145) who underwent leukapheresis between 15 November 2023 and 31 January 2025 across 56 treatment centers were included. The CCU enabled timely delivery, with manufacturing slot allocation within one week of slot request and a median vein-to-vein time of 29 days (range, 16-102), independent of geographic location. In r/r B-ALL patients, the median follow-up was 14 months, and the median overall survival (OS) not reached, and progression-free survival (PFS) was 18 months (range: 9-NR). The 12-month OS and PFS were 64% (95% CI: 53-72) and 55% (95% CI: 45-65). In r/r B-NHL, the median follow-up was 13 months and the median PFS was 11 months (range:7-16) and OS was not reached. The 12-month OS and PFS were 63% (95% CI: 54-71) and 47% (95% CI: 38-56). No patients underwent consolidative stem cell transplantation. Grade 3/4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and Immune Effector Cell-associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis-like Syndrome (IEC-HS) occurred in 6%, 4%, and 23% of r/r B-ALL and 6%, 3%, and 18% of r/r B-NHL patients, respectively. These findings demonstrate the successful implementation of tali-cel across multiple centers in a large cohort, which might contribute towards improving CAR-T access globally.
