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

Checkpoint inhibitors can cause an imbalance in immune tolerance that may clinically manifest as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). These events may involve many organs and tissues, including the skin, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, endocrine system, kidneys, central nervous system (CNS), eyes and lungs. The incidence of irAEs appears to be lower with anti-programmed death antigen-1/programmed death antigen-ligand-1 agents than with the anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 antibody ipilimumab. Combined immunotherapy does not appear to be associated with novel safety signals compared with monotherapy, but more organs may be involved. Increased experience and the use of algorithms for the most common irAEs have resulted in severe toxicity and related deaths being reduced. However, continuous vigilance, especially regarding less common events, is needed to better characterize the wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
