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

objectiveTo summarize the clinical characteristics and immunological and genetic features of patients who developed autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type II (APS-2) after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). DESIGN AND

methodsSeveral databases (MEDLINE/EMBASE/Cochrane) were searched for studies published between January 2000 and February 2020 involving patients with two or more endocrine disorders after ICI therapy.

resultsOur final review included 22 articles comprising 23 patients (median age 56 years; 65.2% male patients). Of these patients, 60.9% received anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) therapy, 17.4% received anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy, and 4.3% received anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) monotherapy. Patients underwent a median of four treatment cycles before the onset of the primary adverse event; the median time of onset was 8.5 weeks. Endocrine organs affected by ICI administration included the thyroid gland (18/23, 78.3%), pancreatic islets (17/23, 73.9%), pituitary gland (11/23, 47.8%), and adrenal gland (2/23, 8.7%). Related autoantibodies were detected in 65.2% of patients. In patients with diabetes, glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody was closely related to the development of diabetes ketoacidosis. The human leukocyte antigen genotype was reported in 34.8% (8/23) of patients, 5 (62.5%) of which had risk genotypes.

conclusionsAs a serious adverse event of ICI treatment, APS-2 is presented with abrupt initiation time and rapid development. Physicians should be aware of potential endocrine disorders and continue monitoring hormone status when treating cancer patients with ICIs.
