Renal Immune-related Adverse Event of Pembrolizumab Masked by Pemetrexed.

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
A Japanese woman in her 60s developed a kidney injury 9 weeks after treatment with pemetrexed, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab for stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. A renal biopsy showed chronic tubulointerstitial damage with minimal focal interstitial inflammation, consistent with pemetrexed-induced nephropathy; thus, pemetrexed was withdrawn. However, the kidney injury continued to worsen. A repeated biopsy showed severe acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, suggestive of a pembrolizumab-induced immune-related adverse event (irAE). The worsening after pemetrexed discontinuation suggested that the irAE had already begun, as the first biopsy showed focal inflammation. This case suggests thatcombining immune checkpoints and chemotherapy requires considering concurrent drug-induced nephrotoxicity.
