Recovery from insulin dependence in immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetes mellitus: A case report.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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-associated diabetes mellitus (ICI-DM) is a rare immune-related adverse event and is usually considered permanent. Here, we report the first case of a 54-year-old man with ICI-DM who recovered from insulin dependence. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and started pembrolizumab therapy. After seven cycles, he developed ICI-associated secondary adrenal insufficiency and started hydrocortisone supplementation. Subsequently, he complained of fatigue, and blood examinations showed hyperglycemia with ketosis. A glucagon challenge test indicated insulin dependence. He was diagnosed with ICI-DM and insulin therapy was initiated. Pembrolizumab therapy was discontinued due to concomitant ICI-associated hepatitis. Six months later, a glucagon challenge test result showed an improvement in insulin secretion, and insulin therapy was discontinued. The lung cancer lesions continued to shrink. Even if ICI-DM develops, it might be possible to control the underlying cancer while avoiding lifelong insulin therapy through early discontinuation of ICI.
