Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hypophysitis: clinical and biochemical features.
Review in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 inhibitors are a very promising novel class of immune response-regulating drugs for cancer treatment. Hypophysitis is one of their most common immune-related adverse events, occurring in a significant proportion of patients. Since this is a potentially severe entity, regular hormone monitoring is recommended during treatment to allow for a timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. Identification of clinical signs and symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, weakness, nausea and dizziness, can also be key for its recognition. Compressive symptoms, such as visual disturbances, are uncommon, as is diabetes insipidus. Imaging findings are usually mild and transient and can easily go unnoticed. However, the presence of pituitary abnormalities in imaging studies should prompt closer monitoring, as these can precede clinical manifestations. The clinical importance of this entity relates mainly to the risk of hormone deficiency, especially ACTH, which occurs in the majority of patients and is rarely reversible, requiring lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy.
