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

backgroundNivolumab has been associated with immune-related adverse events, including nephritis, with acute interstitial nephritis being the most commonly reported renal manifestation. CASE: We describe the first case to our knowledge of minimal change disease with nephrotic syndrome associated with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, Nivolumab. Minimal change disease has been reported with other immune checkpoint inhibitors; however, this is the first reported case with Nivolumab. We report development of nephrotic syndrome with acute kidney injury in a 57-year-old man, 1 month after commencement of Nivolumab for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. Minimal change disease was confirmed by renal biopsy. Management with corticosteroids and cessation of Nivolumab failed to improve kidney function or nephrosis.

conclusionThis case adds to current literature identifying minimal change as an additional complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury. Given the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for a range of malignancies, nephrologists, oncologist and generalists should be aware of the spectrum of kidney pathologies associated with their use.
