Acute Pancreatitis Secondary to Pembrolizumab-Induced Hypertriglyceridemia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeted against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) receptor of lymphocytes. It is used alone or in combination with many chemotherapy regimens for a wide variety of cancers. It has been reported to cause various side effects including endocrinopathies, colitis, rash, and pneumonitis. Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) has been recently added to its side effect profile with a possible pathogenic mechanism involving autoantibodies against glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein binding protein 1 (GP1HBP1). We are presenting a case of acute pancreatitis secondary to HTG in a cervical cancer patient. HTG was successfully treated with insulin infusion. As the patient's symptoms improved, she was started on the diet. She was discharged on statin and fibrate therapy. We are reporting this case to increase awareness of this rare side effect, inpatient management, and outpatient screening while on immunotherapy.
