Sintilimab-induced autoimmune diabetes: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWith the widespread application of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, the number of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) has increased over the years. Autoimmune diabetes mellitus (DM) is a rare irAEs of ICIs and can be troublesome and life threatening. CASE SUMMARY: We report a 78-year-old woman with no history of diabetes who presented with hyperglycemia up to 23.4 mmol/L (random blood glucose level) after 14 courses of sintilimab. Hemoglobin A1c was 8.2%, fasting insulin was 0.29 mIU/mL, and fasting C-peptide was decreased to a level with negative autoantibodies. Combing her medical history and laboratory examination, she was diagnosed with programmed cell death (PD)-1-inhibitor-induced, new-onset autoimmune DM. After controlling her blood glucose, she was treated with daily insulin by subcutaneous injection. She was allowed to continue anti-PD-1 therapy and she still obtained some therapeutic efficacy. We also reviewed some published cases (
conclusionIt is important for all clinicians to be aware of DM as an irAEs of ICIs.
