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

Nivolumab targets programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and is used in cancer treatment by increasing the immune response. It has rarely been associated with immune-mediated colitis (IMC). We present a 66-year-old man with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, treated with nivolumab for seven years, who developed tenesmus and mucoid bloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy revealed endoscopic and histopathological ulcerative colitis (UC)-like changes, limited to the distal 25cm of the colon. Although nivolumab-induced IMC resembling UC is a known adverse effect, there are very few reports of nivolumab-induced IMC localized to the distal colon and occurring seven years after treatment initiation.
