Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy associated enteritis mimicking celiac disease.
Article in Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 68-year-old man with a previous history of lung cancer presented with deteriorating appetite and weight loss. Imaging revealed significant retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, as well as liver and bone lesions consistent with widespread metastatic carcinoma. Biopsy results from the liver lesions confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma. A PDL-1 immunostain, performed on the initial lung resection specimen, showed a combined positive score (CPS) of 15 and pembrolizumab treatment was initiated. The patient presented with diarrhea three weeks after starting therapy and duodenal biopsies obtained at this time displayed intact villous architecture with an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs). The colon biopsies exhibited lymphocytic colitis, characterized by significant thinning of the surface epithelium, a higher mixed inflammatory infiltrate within the lamina propria, and diffuse increase of IELs (greater than 30 per 100 epithelial cells). These findings collectively raised the differential diagnosis of celiac disease with lymphocytic colitis or immunotherapy-associated enterocolitis. Further serological testing for celiac disease, including anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies, yielded negative results. Consequently, a final diagnosis of immune adverse event associated with immunotherapy was established. Cases reported in literature as celiac disease occurring soon after immunotherapy are likely misdiagnosed cases of immunotherapy enteritis.
