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

Real-world incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been rarely demonstrated. The present study aims to report the safety outcomes of this combination therapy in the real-life population. We conducted a multi-institutional retrospective observational study that assessed the incidence and severity of irAEs associated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in 41 Japanese patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced RCC. The irAEs were classified into endocrine and non-endocrine irAEs. The median age and follow-up period were 68 years and 13.0 months, respectively. Endocrine irAEs were observed in 66% of patients, including hypopituitarism in 44%, hyperthyroidism in 41%, and primary hypothyroidism in 22%, while non-endocrine irAEs were observed in 54%. All patients experiencing hypopituitarism presented with adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, causing secondary adrenal insufficiency, which required permanent corticosteroid replacement therapy. There was an association between the incidence of endocrine irAEs and high-grade non-endocrine irAEs other than skin-related irAEs (
