Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer care and work primarily by blocking CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4), and/or PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), and/or PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1), thereby providing highly efficacious anti-tumor activity. However, this unmitigated immune response can also trigger immune related adverse events (irAEs) in multiple organs, with pancreatic irAEs (now referred to as type 3 Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) being infrequent. RECENT

findingsType 3 AIP is a drug-induced, immune mediated progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas that may have variable clinical presentations viz., an asymptomatic pancreatic enzyme elevation, incidental imaging evidence of pancreatitis, painful pancreatitis, or any combination of these subtypes. Management is largely supportive with intravenous fluid hydration, pain control and holding the inciting medication. Steroids have not been shown to demonstrate a clear benefit in acute management. A rapid development pancreatic atrophy is observed on imaging as early as 1 year post initial injury. Type 3 AIP is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas that though predominantly asymptomatic and mild in severity can lead to rapid organ volume loss regardless of type of clinical presentation and despite steroid therapy.
