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

The main cause of acute kidney injury in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is acute interstitial nephritis. However, as their use continues to increase, other kidney manifestations are being described. We report 3 cases of patients treated with ICIs who developed predominantly electrolyte disorders secondary to renal tubular acidosis as an immune-related adverse event and discuss the potential mechanism. Nongap acidosis in combination with hypokalemia should raise suspicion for distal renal tubular acidosis in patients treated with ICIs.
