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

A 69-year-old man with advanced small-cell lung cancer achieved partial remission after 3 courses of immunochemotherapy that included atezolizumab. Ten days after the last treatment, he developed paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome and required mechanical ventilation. Serology testing detected anti-Hu and anti-SOX-1 antibodies. Despite steroid pulse therapy, various anticonvulsants, continuous intravenous sedation, and a fourth course of chemotherapy without atezolizumab, his condition failed to improve. Paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome with autoantibodies after immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment has not been reported previously. Although a causal relationship between immune-checkpoint inhibitors and paraneoplastic syndromes has been suggested, the mechanism remains unknown.
