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

Vaccines, cytokines, and adoptive cellular therapies (ACT) represent immuno-therapeutic modalities with great development potential, and they are currently approved for the treatment of a limited number of advanced malignancies. The most up-to-date knowledge on the regulation of the anti-cancer immune response has recently led to the development and approval of inhibitors of immune checkpoints, which have produced unprecedented clinical activity in several hard to treat solid malignancies. However, severe adverse events (AEs) represent a limitation to the use of these drugs. Currently approved checkpoint inhibitors block cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), resulted in increased survival of patients with several solid and hematologic malignancies. The most common treatment AEs associated with these drugs are fatigue, rash, and auto-immune/inflammatory reactions. Many of the immune-related AEs are reversible and the strategies for their management include supportive care either with or without treatment withdrawal; nevertheless, in severe cases, hospitalization and treatment with immune suppressants, and/or immunomodulators may be required. Steroid therapy is a critical component of the treatment algorithm; nevertheless, the associated immunosuppression may compromise the antitumor response. This article provides a comprehensive and narrative review of luminal gastrointestinal and hepatic complications, including recommendations for their investigation and management.
