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 71-year-old Japanese man was treated with 200 mg of pembrolizumab for lung adenocarcinoma with multiple bone metastases at the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Kameda General Hospital. After 19 treatment courses, he complained of epigastric pain before meals. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed multiple erosions in the gastric antrum, and antacids were administered at follow-up. After 27 treatment courses, the patient underwent another endoscopy because of anorexia. The erosions were enlarged and had increased from the gastric antrum to the greater curvature of the body. Histological biopsy showed lymphocytic infiltration with a predominance of CD8-positive T cells. The patient had previously been treated for Helicobacter pylori infection, and we suspected drug-induced gastritis due to the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the course of the disease. Pembrolizumab was discontinued, and the patient's symptoms gradually improved. Endoscopic examinations were performed 2, 5, and 9 months after discontinuation of pembrolizumab, and improvement in mucosal findings and decreased lymphocyte infiltration were confirmed each time. The patient has remained without any relapse of symptoms for more than 1 year after discontinuing treatment.
