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

By increasing the activity of the immune system, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) can have adverse inflammatory effects, which are referred to as immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). In this review, we present the recommendations for the appropriate identification and treatment of irAEs associated with ICPI to increase the safety and effectiveness of therapy with these immuno-oncological drugs. Several guidelines to manage irAEs adopted by different American and European societies in the field of oncology were identified. A narrative review of the several strategies adopted to manage irAEs was performed. With close clinical surveillance, ICPI can be used even in patients who have mild irAEs. Moderate to severe events require early detection and appropriate treatment, particularly in patients with a history of transplantation or pre-existing autoimmune disease. In most cases, adverse reactions can be treated with the interruption of treatment and/or supportive therapy, which includes, in serious adverse reactions, the administration of immunosuppressants. The identification and treatment of irAEs in the early stages may allow patients to resume therapy with ICPI. This review is an instrument to support healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and monitoring of patients who are administered ICPI, contributing to the timely identification and management of irAEs.
