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 been discovered to be associated with autoimmune toxicities that may present as dermatologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, endocrine, and rarely hematologic reactions. Recent studies have also discovered hematological adverse effects as a result of ICI use of which isolated neutropenia is the gravest and the rarest manifestation. Asymptomatic neutropenia cannot be ignored, and close monitoring is, at least, warranted. Severe neutropenia with neutropenic fever needs hospital admission and prompt treatment to avoid further morbidity and/or mortality. In this report, we present a rare case of Grade 4 neutropenia resulting from nivolumab, anti-PD-1 antibody, in a patient diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer. The patient was successfully treated with steroids and supportive measures.
