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

Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has improved the prognosis of melanoma patients. However, ICIs can cause an overactivation of the immune system followed by diverse immunological side effects known as immune-related adverse events (irAE). Currently, the toxicity of irAE is limiting the usage of ICIs. Here, we studied circulating monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) and T cells in course of irAE after the ICI therapy. Our longitudinal study involved 31 melanoma patients with and without adverse events during anti-PD-1 monotherapy or anti-CTLA-4/PD-1 combination therapy. Peripheral blood samples were analyzed before ICI start, during ICI treatment, at the time point of irAE and during immunosuppressive treatment to cure irAE. We observed an enhanced progression-free survival among patients with irAE. In patients with irAE, we found an upregulation of CD69 on CD8
