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 checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) cause a variety of inflammatory eruptions. The understanding of ICI-induced inflammatory eruptions with detailed histopathological findings is not adequate, particularly in Asian populations. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with cutaneous immune-related adverse events (irAEs) following ICI therapy between 2014 and 2020 at the Department of Dermatology of Kyushu University Hospital. Of the 51 patients (30 men, 21 women), maculopapular rash (38/51, 74.5%), erythema multiforme (2/51, 3.9%), lichenoid reaction (3/51, 5.9%), psoriasiform reaction (3/51, 5.9%), bullous pemphigoid (3/51, 5.9%), scleroderma-like reaction (1/51, 2.0%), and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (1/51, 2.0%) were observed. The clinical and histopathological findings of these eruptions were equivalent to typical cases of common drug eruptions. The onset of maculopapular rash was relatively early (more than half of events occurred within 1 month), whereas lichenoid reactions and autoimmune diseases occurred relatively late (4-8 months). With appropriate treatment and/or interruption of ICIs, most rashes improved (50/51, 98.0%). The ICI-induced inflammatory eruptions shared similar clinical and histopathological features with classical inflammatory eruptions, but a variety of inflammatory eruptions may occur with different degrees of severity. Dermatologists play an important role in providing specialized care for cutaneous irAEs.
