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

In recent years, checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of previously untreatable malignant tumors, significantly improving the life expectancy as well as quality of life in many cases. Checkpoint inhibitors comprise a group of drugs with different mechanisms of action. These include immunological checkpoint inhibitors (iCPI) and intracellular signal transduction inhibitors; however, both substance classes can cause inflammatory or toxic ocular side effects. The frequency of intraocular inflammation (uveitis) is reported to be ca. 1-2%, toxic side effects were observed in up to more than 50% of the patients treated with signal transduction inhibitors. In the following article the main mechanisms of these forms of treatment are characterized. Furthermore, this article presents the currently most frequently used therapeutic agents and their typical ophthalmological side effects to increase awareness and to draw attention to these still rare but increasingly more frequent findings.
