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

Direct stimulation of the antitumor activity of immune system through checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of different cancer types. The activity of these antibodies takes place in the immunological synapse blocking the binding of the negative immunoregulatory proteins, thus leading to the finalization of the immune response. Despite having a favorable toxicity profile, its mechanism of action impedes the negative regulation of the immune activity which can potentially favor autoimmune attacks to normal tissues. Renal toxicity has been described in several ICI but not with atezolizumab, an IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting PD-L1 (programmed death ligand 1), approved by FDA as a second-line therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma. Here we present a patient with a single kidney and metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab combination, with biopsy-proven acute interstitial nephritis, who had a complete resolution of renal dysfunction after steroid therapy.
