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

Herein, we present a case report of sintilimab treatment for a patient with ureteral cancer reoccurring after bladder cancer, and exploration of the mechanism of adverse reactions from the aspects of intestinal flora and immunity. We have reported a case of leukopenia in a patient with recurrent ureteral cancer after bladder cancer who was treated with sintilimab. A 52-year-old Chinese man with a history of hypertension and diabetes presented with lower urinary tract symptoms, including painless hematuria, frequent and urgent urination, and micturition without pain. Computed tomography (CT) and 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction suggested bladder space occupation, bladder cancer was pathologically confirmed after laser resection of the bladder tumor, which then recurred and was subject to reoperation. After 8 months, B-mode ultrasonography indicated left ureter occupation, and the patient began sintilimab immunotherapy according to the outcome of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) evaluation. The patient was treated with sintilimab a total of 6 times. After the first treatment, the patient was in stable condition. The second treatment was discontinued due to renal insufficiency. The patient was then treated with renal and liver protection for 1.5 months, followed by 5 rounds of immunotherapy. After the sixth round of immunotherapy, the patient presented with leukopenia. In order to determine the causes of adverse reactions, we analyzed the changes of intestinal flora of patients before and after immunotherapy, and summarized the immune function indicators of patients during immunotherapy. The leucopenia induced by sintilimab may be related to intestinal flora and immunity.
