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

introductionPazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, are both considered to cause hepatotoxicity with different pathophysiology. We report a case in which a patient died of severe hepatotoxicity who was presumed to have been caused by the administration of nivolumab followed by pazopanib for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old male with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was treated with nivolumab as a third-line treatment. However, nivolumab was subsequently discontinued, as it caused severe thyroiditis. About 2 months after the final dose of nivolumab was administered, pazopanib was initiated as a fourth-line treatment. The patient suffered from lethal hepatic failure and died 18 days after the initiation of pazopanib treatment. An autopsy revealed that CD8-positive lymphocytes had infiltrated the thyroid gland and liver.

conclusionThe patient was considered to have died of severe hepatic failure due to the aggravation of mild nivolumab-induced immune-related hepatitis by pazopanib.
