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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (anti-CTLA-4) and anti-programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1) caused a breakthrough in oncology and significantly improved therapeutic outcomes in cancer patients. ICIs generate a specific reaction in T cells, directed against antigens on cancer cells, leading to their damage and death. Through similar or the same antigens, activated lymphocytes may also have a cytotoxic effect on healthy cells, causing development of specific adverse effects - so-called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). We present the case report of a 56 year old patient with disseminated melanoma. During treatment with immunotherapy (anti PD-1), neutropenic fever and pancytopenia occurred. Trepanobiopsy of the bone marrow was performed to determine the cause of pancytopenia. Histopathological assessment of bone marrow combined with immunophenotype investigations may explain the cause of hematological disorders occurring in the course of treatment with ICIs, and support the choice of an appropriate treatment, directly translated into positive outcomes.
