Anti‑PD‑1 immune checkpoint inhibitor inducing endocrine toxicity in a patient with advanced lung cancer: A case report and literature review.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) antibody is a breakthrough immune checkpoint inhibitor that modulates T-cell function. However, it may result in multiple immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as endocrine toxicity. The present case report describes a 59-year-old female patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with a tumor proportion score of 50% for programmed death ligand 1. The patient developed dry skin, dizziness and fatigue after receiving the third infusion of the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab. Based on several clinical indicators, including low serum free T3 and free T4 titers, an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level and a high titer of thyroid peroxidase autoantibody, the patient was diagnosed with immune-induced autoimmune thyroiditis. The patient received continuous thyroxine replacement therapy until her thyroid function returned to normal. After the fifth infusion of pembrolizumab, the patient exhibited hyperglycemia, high serum ketone levels and low arterial blood pH, thus meeting the criteria for immune-induced autoimmune diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis. As a result, the immunotherapy was discontinued and the patient was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Following anti-PD-1 medication, the patient experienced autoimmune thyroid damage and autoimmune diabetes. Therefore, clinicians should regularly monitor patients undergoing immunotherapy and pay close attention to the characteristics irAEs. Patients with underlying thyroiditis should be carefully monitored due to this being a risk factor, and for patients with thyroiditis care should be taken when deciding on whether they should be treated with immunotherapy. The article also discusses the features and general mechanisms of immune-related endocrine toxicity.
