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

backgroundImmune check-point inhibitors-induced colitis (ICPIs-induced colitis) is one of the immune-related side effects. Steroids and Infliximab are commonly used to treat it. The patients of our report were treated by Vedolizumab. CASE SUMMARY: The two patients went to the doctor with bloody stools and were treated by Sintilimab and Camrelizumab, respectively, for their malignant tumors. They were diagnosed as ICPIs-induced colitis based on endoscopic and histologic examination. The original immunotherapy was ceased while the anti-inflammatory therapy was introduced. The patients' colitis symptoms disappeared after the treatment and no recurrence was found during the follow-up period. The unique feature about the case reports is that Vedolizumab combined with short-term corticosteroids had achieved good therapeutic effects.

conclusionFor the symptoms of bloody diarrhea after the ICPIs treatment of cancer, the possibility of ICPIs-induced colitis should be considered. Vedolizumab combined with short-term corticosteroids may be appropriate for the treatment.
