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

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a rare, aggressive large B cell lymphoma characterized by plasmablastic morphology, terminal B cell (plasma cell) differentiation, frequent loss of conventional B cell markers, and poor clinical outcomes. Although classically associated with immunodeficiency and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, plasmablastic lymphoma has also been described as an uncommon mechanism of relapse after CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. We report a 69-year-old man with a remote history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma and subsequent refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who developed rapidly progressive, CD19-negative plasmablastic lymphoma approximately 1 month after CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. Although DLBCL was of a nongerminal-center phenotype with expression of pan-B markers including CD19 and lack of CD138, the post-CAR-T transformed lymphoma demonstrated acquisition of plasmablastic morphology and CD138 expression, loss of pan-B markers and negative for EBV by in situ hybridization and HHV8 by immunostaining. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on the plasmablastic lymphoma showed a
