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

Background: Immune-related thyroid dysfunction (irTD) is a common immune-related adverse event (irAE). The potential biomarkers of irTDs and their impact on the clinical outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remain unclear. We aimed to identify potential biomarkers of irTDs and reveal the association between irTDs and the clinical outcomes in patients with NSCLC treated with ICIs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 126 patients with NSCLC, who were treated with pembrolizumab, sintilimab, atezolizumab, or camrelizumab, as first-line therapy, at the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, between July 2019 and February 2023. Anti-thyroid antibodies (ATAs), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), thyroid ultrasonography, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were the main indicators. Results: Most (92.9%) irTD cases occurred no later than one year after ICIs initiation. Patients with irTDs had higher positive rates for ATAs and TPOAb [33.3% Conclusions: The ATAs, TPOAb, and abnormal thyroid ultrasonographic findings (irregular echo patterns and diffuse changes) are potential biomarkers of irTDs. Patients with NSCLC treated with ICIs (pembrolizumab, sintilimab, atezolizumab, and camrelizumab) who developed irTDs had no advantage in terms of clinical outcomes compared to euthyroid patients.
