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

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) can be induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Although the incidence of CRS is low, it is often underreported. Here, we report two severe CRS cases and summarize and review 51 patients with ICI-induced CRS to explore the possible contributing factors to the disease prognosis and provide assistance for therapy. Our analysis found that the population with ICI-induced CRS consists mainly of male patients with an average age of 61.74 years. The primary malignant tumor type was lung cancer, and the clinical stage of most patients was stage IV. Notably, patients who experience a longer time to CRS onset, higher IL-6 levels, and lower platelet counts may be more likely to develop severe CRS. Cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, and coagulation toxicities are more common in higher-grade CRS and may serve as markers for patient experiencing ICU admission, oxygen supplementation, hypotension, high-dose vasopressors usage, and intubation.
