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
introductionThe relative efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) was assessed via unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) using data from the CARTITUDE-4 and CARTITUDE-1 (cilta-cel) and KarMMa-3 (ide-cel) trials. This updated MAIC includes longer follow-up and overall survival (OS).
methodsAn unanchored MAIC was performed utilizing individual patient-level data (IPD) from CARTITUDE-4 [1-3 prior lines of therapy (LOT); n = 208] and CARTITUDE-1 (3-4 prior LOT; n = 37). Patients fulfilling KarMMa-3 inclusion criteria (2-4 prior LOT, triple-class exposed) were selected, and outcomes were compared against published aggregate KarMMa-3 data. Cilta-cel IPD were weighted to match reported baseline characteristics of KarMMa-3 on key prognostic factors identified a priori. Comparative efficacy was estimated for progression-free survival (PFS), OS, overall response rate, very good partial response (VGPR) or better rate, and complete response (CR) or better rate.
resultsEighty-five patients from CARTITUDE-4 and CARTITUDE-1 were included. After adjustment, patients in the cilta-cel group (effective sample size = 39) had a 58% reduction in PFS risk [hazard ratio (HR) 0.42 (95% CI 0.26-0.68); p = 0.0004] and a 42% reduction in OS risk [HR 0.58 (0.34-0.99); p = 0.0452] versus ide-cel. Patients in the cilta-cel group were significantly more likely to achieve an overall response [relative response ratio (RR) 1.22 (95% CI 1.08-1.38); p = 0.0126] and deeper levels of response [≥ VGPR: RR 1.37 (1.19-1.59); p = 0.0009; ≥ CR: RR 1.80 (1.49-2.18); p < 0.0001] versus ide-cel.
conclusionThis updated MAIC with longer follow-up time demonstrated significant superiority of cilta-cel over ide-cel in PFS, OS, and response outcomes in patients with triple-class exposed RRMM treated with 2-4 prior LOT. The OS results reinforce the added value of cilta-cel in this population.
