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

Immunotherapy-based regimens are currently the standard treatment for many different types of cancers. Monoclonal antibodies against cytotoxic T lymphocytes antigen (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), and PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) are the major subgroups of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are being used widely in the treatment of various malignancies. They function by reactivating the immune system against the tumor cells but can also trigger autoimmune side effects, which are termed immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). In this report, we present a case of irAEs in a patient treated for colorectal cancer with combination therapy with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4 antibody) and nivolumab (anti-PD-1 antibody).
