A Case of Lung Cancer with Very-Late-Onset Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Myocarditis.
Article in CJC open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related myocarditis has been reported to appear in the early phase after ICI initiation. Herein, we report the case of a 78-year-old man with non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab was introduced as first-line therapy. After 9 months, second-line therapy, including bevacizumab, was initiated. After another 7 months, echocardiography showed diffuse left ventricular dysfunction. Based on the histopathologic examination of the myocardium, the patient was diagnosed with ICI-related myocarditis. Initiation of prednisolone therapy improved cardiac function. This case of late-onset ICI-related myocarditis illustrates that endomyocardial biopsy can be useful in the differential diagnosis of cancer-related left ventricular dysfunction.
