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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of cancer. ICIs have a unique side effect profile, generally caused by inflammatory tissue damage, with clinical features similar to autoimmune conditions. Acute kidney injury from ICIs has been well studied; incidence ranges from 1% to 5%, with higher incidence when combination ICI therapies are used. Although the overall reported incidence of ICI-associated glomerulonephritis is less than 1%, vasculitis is the most commonly reported ICI-related glomerulonephritis. Other biopsy findings include thrombotic microangiopathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, minimal change disease, and IgA nephropathy with secondary amyloidosis. We report a case in which a woman previously treated with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer with pre-existing antineutrophil cytoplasmic (anti-PR3) antibody who later developed multi-organ vasculitis after ICI exposure, which was successfully treated with rituximab, with continued cancer remission for 3 years.
