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

Oncologic treatment is being revolutionized by a burgeoning number of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPis). To date, seven ICPis have received Food and Drug Administration approval, targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen, programmed cell death, or programmed cell death ligand. Adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibition have been described in the literature. Guidelines exist for the most common of these, but as the use of ICPis becomes more common, the number of patients presenting with rare events will increase. This article reviews the diagnosis and management of rare ocular, hematological, luminal gastrointestinal, and rheumatological toxicities arising from ICPi treatment. KEY POINTS: As the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPis) becomes more common, the number of rare immune-related adverse events (irAEs) will increase. A high level of suspicion is required to identify and treat these toxicities. Although it can be difficult to definitively attribute rare irAEs to ICPis, a temporal and mechanistic relationship and the absence of other etiologies should make the treating physician suspicious for a rare irAE. Certain rare irAEs, such as celiac disease, do not require treatment with glucocorticoids. Thus, differentiating this irAE from other gastrointestinal irAEs has important implications for treatment.
