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

Melanoma, with increasing annual incidence worldwide, is one of the deadliest cutaneous malignancies often treated with immunotherapy, which has led to commonly encountered immune-related adverse events (irAEs) including bullous pemphigoid (BP). The relation between an individual's HLA inheritance and risk in development of BP is well studied. The development of BP as an irAE in melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy is also well reported and considered to be related to the expression of BP180 in malignant melanoma. In presented work, the association of enriched presence of certain HLA alleles and haplotypes that increase risk of developing BP as an irAE has been investigated in seven cutaneous cancer patients who presented with immunotherapy-associated BP, diagnosed by skin biopsy and positive serology for anti-BP 180 autoantibody. Their HLA typing revealed an enriched presence of certain BP-related HLA alleles, and haplotypes, particularly HLA-DQB1*03:01, which was present in all seven patients, whilst its occurrence in the general population is very low. Additionally, some patients had more than one and in a few patients had the whole haplotype of BP related HLA. Not only can such enriched presence be considered a role in risk stratification to initiate or continue immunotherapy, but it may shed a light to existing disease genotypes that can become unmasked to phenotypic clinically presenting BP due to immunotherapy rather than just a random AE.
