Longitudinal real-world surveillance of infection outcomes in CAR-T and bispecific therapy recipients: the CLARITY study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionInfections are a leading cause of non-relapse mortality following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) and bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapies. However, infection data from clinical trials are often incomplete, lack pathogen-level detail and rarely capture late infectious complications. This METHODS AND ANALYSIS: CLARITY is a multicentre observational cohort study across six Australian centres enrolling adults treated with CAR-T or BsAb therapies. A co-designed REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) instrument captures infections classified as microbiologically defined, clinically defined or fever of unknown origin, using internationally standardised definitions. Patients were enrolled between 2019 and 2023, with at least 2 years follow-up per patient, allowing time-updated data on immunosuppressive exposures, haematological recovery and prophylaxis. Multivariable regression and landmark analyses will estimate infection incidence and identify dynamic risk factors over time. Incidence rate ratios will assess prophylaxis effectiveness. Data integrity is supported by central adjudication and site-level audits. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has received a waiver of consent (HREC/PMCC/89002) and was co-designed by haematology and infectious diseases investigators. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, scientific meetings and national guideline committees to inform infection prevention and late effects surveillance in immunotherapy-treated populations.
