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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) has been well described as a complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We present a series of patients, the majority with lung adenocarcinoma, who developed AKI while actively receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors.

methodsThis is a retrospectively analyzed clinical case series of six patients treated at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center. Data were collected on gender, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, concomitant medications, type of malignancy, treatments, and renal function. All patients underwent renal biopsy for classification of the mechanism of AKI. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on tumor tissue for all patients.

resultsPatterns of AKI included acute interstitial nephritis and acute tubular necrosis. Contributing factors included the use of concomitant medications known to contribute to AKI. All but two patients had full resolution of the AKI with the use of steroids. There were several mutations found on CGP that was notable including an Exon 20 insertion as well as multiple NF1 and TP53 mutations. There was high PD-L1 expression on tumor tissue noted in two out of six patients. In addition to AKI, a subset of patients had proteinuria with biopsies revealing corresponding glomerular lesions of minimal change disease and focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis.

conclusionsOur case series demonstrates that AKI from immune checkpoint inhibitors has a variable presentation that may require an individualized treatment approach. Further studies are needed to identify biomarkers that may help identify those at risk and guide the management of this condition.
