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

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe hyperinflammatory syndrome triggered by infections, malignancies, or autoimmune disorders. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy requires lymphodepleting chemotherapy and interleukin-2, producing profound immunosuppression. While HLH-like syndromes have been characterized after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, HLH has not been reported in the setting of TIL therapy. Case Summary: A 68-year-old male with metastatic melanoma undergoing TIL therapy presented with altered mental status. He had chronic lymphopenia and reported gastrointestinal intolerance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, documented as a sulfonamide allergy without formal testing, limiting prophylaxis to inhaled pentamidine, which has no anti- Conclusion: This represents the first toxoplasmosis-associated HLH during TIL therapy. It underscores the importance of distinguishing drug intolerance from true allergy, ensuring
