Immune-related toxic epidermal necrolysis affecting trachea mucosal epithelium: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) have emerged as critical tools in cancer treatment. However, concerns regarding their potential cutaneous and mucosal toxicity, along with severe complications, have drawn clinical attention. Further research is warranted to investigate the adverse reactions and treatment strategies associated with PD-1 monoclonal antibodies. Methods: We present a detailed case report of a laryngeal cancer patient who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) after treatment with PD-1 monoclonal antibody. We analyzed the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment approaches by integrating clinical manifestations, pathological examinations, and literature research. Results: After PD-1 monoclonal antibody therapy, the patient exhibited systemic rash, bullae, and epidermal detachment, which subsequently involved the tracheal and bronchial mucosa, resulting in dyspnea. The patient recovered after treatments with steroids, macrolides, immunoglobulins, and etanercept, along with repeated removal of scabs via bronchoscopy. Literature reviewing suggests a potential association between PD-1 monoclonal antibodies and the pathogenesis of Steven Johnson's Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), possibly due to immune dysregulation. Treatment consists of immediate discontinuation of suspicious drugs, essential supportive therapy, and systemic corticosteroid administration, with the addition of immunosuppressants and/or immunoglobulins needed. Conclusion: The mucocutaneous toxicity induced by PD-1 monoclonal antibodies is not limited to the surface of the skin but also in deep mucosal layers, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. Therefore, when using PD-1 monoclonal antibodies, clinicians should closely monitor adverse events and apply appropriate treatments as soon as possible to prevent severe complications.
