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

methodsData from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2021 in the database were extracted to conduct a disproportionality analysis. The selection of AEs related to the pancreas relied on previous studies and preferred terms from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Two main disproportionality analyses-the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC)-were used to evaluate potential associations between ICIs and pancreatic AEs.

resultsIn total, 2,364 cases of pancreatic AEs in response to ICIs were extracted from the FAERS database, of which, 647 were identified as ICI-associated pancreatitis and 1,293 were identified as ICI-associated diabetes mellitus. Generally, significant signals can be detected between pancreatic AEs and all ICIs treatments (ROR

conclusionsICIs were significantly associated with the over-reporting frequency of pancreatic AEs, in which combination therapy posed a higher reporting frequency. Therefore, patients should be informed of these potential toxicities before ICIs medications are administered.
