Autoimmune Myasthenia, Primary Adrenal Insufficiency, and Progressive Hypothyroidism Due to Pembrolizumab and Axitinib Combination Regimen.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (ICI) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have been among the increasingly used antineoplastic agents for advanced cancers including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although these antineoplastic agents have broad range of efficacy, rare adverse events - mild and fatal, acute and chronic, immune and non-immune mediated - have been reported. We report a case of a 73-year-old Caucasian male patient with stage IV right-sided clear cell RCC who was treated with a pembrolizumab-axitinib combination regimen and suffered life-threatening, acute onset immune-related myasthenia gravis (MG), subsequently progressive hypothyroidism, and primary adrenal insufficiency.
