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

purposeTargeted cancer therapy (TCT) is a significant advancement in oncology with promising survival improvement in patients with cancer and remarkable effects on various cancers. There is evidence suggesting a connection between specific TCT classes and the occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Our study aims to investigate the potential ocular toxicities of different classes of TCT, provide a better understanding of these toxicities, and aid in the future development of screening and management recommendations for ocular irAEs.

designRetrospective observational case series.

participantsOnly ocular immune-related AEs were included in the study; patients on TCT who received a new ophthalmic diagnosis were seen at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

methodsBetween 2010 and 2019, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 6,354 patients on TCT at a large US tertiary cancer center.  Results: The criteria for data analysis were met by 1861 patients. TCT was associated with a wide range of class-specific ocular irAEs. There was a statistically significant correlation between ocular toxicity with polytherapy with a p-value of <0.001. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant correlation between toxicity and BRAF, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and ICI <0.001, <0.001, and 0.006, respectively.  Conclusion: Our cohort is the most extensive case series in English literature, demonstrating the increased risk of class-specific ocular toxicity associated with TCT, which sheds some light on the importance of developing standardized grading criteria and management guidelines.
