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 have revolutionized cancer therapy and are increasingly used to treat a wide range of oncological conditions, with dramatic benefits for many patients. Unfortunately, the resulting increase in T cell effector function often results in immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which can involve any organ system, including the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Neurological irAEs involve the PNS in two-thirds of affected patients. Muscle involvement (immune-related myopathy) is the most common PNS irAE and can be associated with neuromuscular junction involvement. Immune-related peripheral neuropathy most commonly takes the form of polyradiculoneuropathy or cranial neuropathies. Immune-related myopathy (with or without neuromuscular junction involvement) often occurs along with immune-related myocarditis, and this overlap syndrome is associated with substantially increased mortality. This Review focuses on PNS adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibition. Underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed, including antigen homology between self and tumour, epitope spreading and activation of pre-existing autoreactive T cells. An overview of current approaches to clinical management is provided, including cytokine-directed therapies that aim to decouple anticancer immunity from autoimmunity and emerging treatments for patients with severe (life-threatening) presentations.
