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

Immune checkpoints assist with self-tolerance and minimize collateral tissue damage when immune responses are activated. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are characterized by a favorable risk/benefit ratio, immune checkpoint blockade has been associated with a new subset of autoimmune-like toxicities, named immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Dermatologic reactions are among the most prevalent irAEs triggered by CPIs. In a majority of cases they are self-limiting and readily manageable. However, it is not uncommon that they result in severe skin involvement and impairment of patients' quality of life. Awareness of the spectrum of cutaneous irAEs is mandatory for every clinician involved in the management of oncologic patients. The role of the dermatologists is essential because early recognition and appropriate management of skin toxicity may prevent dose modifications and discontinuation of CPIs. The latter is particularly relevant, considering that recent data suggest favorable oncologic response in patients developing irAEs.
