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

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) induce impressive antitumor responses but may lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with ICI therapy (AKI-ICI). Biomarkers distinguishing AKI-ICI from AKI because of other causes (AKI-other) are currently lacking. Because ICIs block immunoregulatory pathways, we hypothesized that biomarkers related to immune cell dysregulation, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and other markers of B and T cell activation in the systemic circulation and kidney tissue, may aid with the diagnosis of AKI-ICI. Methods: This is a prospective study consisting of 24 participants who presented with AKI during ICI therapy, adjudicated to either have AKI-ICI ( Results: We observed increase in several specific immune cells, including CD4 memory, T helper cells, and dendritic cells in the kidney tissue, as well as in the urine cytokines IL-2, IL-10, and TNF-α, in patients who developed AKI-ICI compared to patients with AKI-other ( Conclusion: These results suggest that specific T-cell responses and their respective cytokines may be indicative of AKI associated with ICI therapy and may help to differentiate AKI-ICI from AKI-other. Urine TNF-α is a promising biomarker for AKI-ICI, which is most often caused by acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), and TNF-α pathway may serve as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
