Severe tracheal stenosis after first administration of pembrolizumab rescued by Dumon Y-stent in a lung cancer patient.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
A 70-year-old woman diagnosed with advanced, non-resectable programmed cell death ligand 1-positive-non-small-cell lung carcinoma was treated with pembrolizumab as first-line therapy. Soon after therapy initiation, she presented with severe dyspnea, and chest computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass in the lower trachea of the right main bronchus. During bronchoscopy, she became severely hypoxic, and we performed endoscopic tumor ablation and Dumon Y-stent placement. We considered this severe deterioration caused by pseudoprogression, and suggest that it is necessary to perform bronchoscopy and to prepare for the bronchial intervention when treating patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
