Anti-GAD65 Antibody-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis With Predominant Cerebellar Involvement Following Toripalimab Treatment: A Case Report of a Novel irAE of Toripalimab.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Toripalimab (Junshi Bioscience Co., Ltd) is a new immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that targets programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) in various cancers, including metastatic melanoma. No neurological immune-related adverse events (n-irAEs) of toripalimab have been reported, except for neuromuscular involvement. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with severe vertigo, vomiting, nystagmus, cerebellar ataxia, and cognitive impairment after toripalimab treatment for metastatic melanoma. Compared with the concomitant cognitive dysfunction and a pathological reflex involving the cerebral cortex, the signs and symptoms of cerebellar involvement were much more prominent. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (anti-GAD65) antibody was positive in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). After intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and methylprednisolone (IVMP) administration, the symptoms of vertigo and vomiting resolved, with cognitive impairment and cerebellar ataxia remaining. This is the first report of autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) as an n-irAE of toripalimab.
