Nivolumab-Induced Neuromyopathy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Nivolumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that treats various malignancies. Although ICIs have proven efficacious, they can also have detrimental side effects. We present a case of nivolumab-induced quadriparesis mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome in a patient with stage III squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pharynx with a chronic tracheostomy, who presented after being found unconscious at home. He later developed acute kidney failure, requiring dialysis, and bilateral weakness of his upper and lower extremities. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with minimal improvement. Nivolumab-induced quadriparesis is very threatening and can be fatal if inappropriately managed. Therefore, we strongly advocate for a multidisciplinary team and early corticosteroid prescription to monitor patients on nivolumab therapy to prevent adverse clinical outcomes.
