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

introductionThe efficacy and safety of nivolumab for patients receiving hemodialysis remain uncertain. Herein, we report a patient receiving a maintenance hemodialysis with life-threatening interstitial pneumonitis caused by nivolumab for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old man with chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma was started on hemodialysis. Six months later, he developed multiple bone metastases and received pazopanib. Pazopanib, however, was not effective. We then switched to nivolumab as second-line treatment. Five days after the first administration of nivolumab, he complained of respiratory discomfort and malaise with oxygen desaturation. Chest computed tomography demonstrated diffuse areas of ground glass opacity in both lung fields, suggesting programmed cell death 1 inhibitor-related pneumonitis. Prompt corticosteroid therapy led to improvement of the symptoms.

conclusionCaution should be exercised on the administration of nivolumab to hemodialysis patients due to the risk of interstitial pneumonitis.
