[Prevalence and treatment of rheumatological adverse events due to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have essentially improved the treatment options for various malignant diseases. They lead to an activation of the immune system and subsequent attack of tumor cells by affecting the immune system and preventing tumor cells from avoiding detection. In addition to this desired effect, immune-related adverse events (irAE) can occur in nearly all organ systems and therefore also rheumatological irAE (rh-irAE).
objectiveThe occurrence of rh-irAE has been described in various publications and is specifically investigated in this review. The aim is to provide an overview on the prevalence, severity, treatment options and altered tumor response in patients with rh-irAE. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe conducted a literature search for studies and case reports on rh-irAE under ICI therapy in PubMed up to January 2020 using the PICO model.
resultsA total of 18 publications were included, most of which were clinical studies (n = 13) and the rest case reports (n = 5). Several rh-irAE can occur with a wide variety of manifestations of which arthralgia, arthritis and myositis were the most common. Other rheumatic diseases, such as vasculitis, connective tissue diseases and sarcoidosis were less frequently described. The published prevalence of rh-irAE varied with a prevalence between 2.3% and 6.6%. Treatment of rh-irAE depends on the severity and most patients receive nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroids. In some cases, conventional DMARDs, such as methotrexate and biological DMARDs, were administered. Patients with rh-irAE in general had a higher tumor response rate compared to patients without side effects.
conclusionA close observation of patients and early detection of rh-irAE are important in order to treat these side effects in time. Further prospective studies are necessary to systematically investigate rh-irAE.
