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.

Abstract

backgroundLisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, showed high response rates and favorable safety in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) FL in the international, pivotal, phase 2 study (TRANSCEND FL). We report results from TRANSCEND FL in Japanese patients with second-line or later (2L+) FL after a median on-study follow-up of 31 months.

methodsKey eligibility criteria were age ≥18 years, prior combination systemic therapy including an anti-CD20 antibody and alkylating agent, and positron emission tomography-positive, measurable lesions. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) per independent review committee using Lugano 2014 criteria. Secondary endpoints included complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.

resultsOverall, 10 Japanese patients received liso-cel and were evaluated for safety; 9 were efficacy-evaluable. Patients had a median age of 67 years and a median of 3 prior systemic therapies. ORR and CR rate (95% CI) were both 100% (66.4-100). Median DOR and PFS were not reached, 24-month DOR and PFS rates (95% CI) were both 88.9% (43.3-98.4), and only 1 patient had relapsed. All patients were alive at data cutoff. Rates of any-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurological events (NEs), and infections were 30%, 10%, and 30%, respectively; no grade ≥3 CRS, NEs, or infections were reported. No new safety signals were detected.

conclusionsThese data underscore liso-cel as an effective treatment option with a manageable safety profile for Japanese patients with 2L+ R/R FL. Trial registration number NCT04245839.
