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

Pembrolizumab has been associated with episodes of uveitis, and the clinical characteristics between them are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of pembrolizumab-induced uveitis and to provide reference for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. We collected studies related to pembrolizumab-induced uveitis by searching databases for retrospective analysis until April 30, 2024. The median age of the 31 patients was 63 years (range 7, 82), and the median duration of uveitis onset was 12 weeks (range 0.4, 108). Decreased vision (41.9%) and blurred vision (25.8%) were the most common complaints. Uveitis can be manifested as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease-like uveitis (22.6%) and Birdshot uveitis (6.5%). Uveitis mainly affects both eyes and is related to anterior uveitis (35.5%), panuveitis (25.8%) and posterior uveitis (19.4%). Patients receiving topical steroid drops, systemic steroids, and withdrawal of pembrolizumab significantly improved symptoms at a median time of 4 weeks (range 2, 16). The possibility of uveitis should be considered when patients are treated with pembrolizumab and experience eye symptoms such as blurred vision and decreased vision. Depending on the severity of uveitis, treatment with topical and systemic steroids may be selected.
