The relationship between pneumonitis and programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors among cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundWe put the meta-analysis into practice to reveal the relationship between the incidence risk of immune-related pneumonitis and the use of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors related pneumonitis in cancer patients.
methodThe meta-analysis was put into practice according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Odds ratio (OR) was evaluated by random effect model.
resultsAfter screening and eligibility assessment, 33 clinical trials involving 19,854 patients were selected and used for the final meta-analysis after selection criteria checked. Compared with chemotherapy, the use of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors alone increased the incidence risk of all-grade (OR = 4.29, 95% confidence interval: [2.97, 6.19], P < .00001) and grade 3 to 5 immune-related pneumonitis (OR = 3.53, 95% confidence interval: [2.04, 6.11], P < .00001). Similar trend could also be found when PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-tumor therapies.
conclusionWhether PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were used alone or combined with other antitumor drugs, the incidence risk of immune-related pneumonitis would be increased.
