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

Cutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) may be associated with tumoral response and survival in patients using immune checkpoint inhibitors, but this relationship remains unclear because previous reports on the topic have various limitations. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of cirAEs with overall survival and progression-free survival in patients starting immune checkpoint inhibitors. A prospective observational study was conducted in a Spanish tertiary care hospital, including participants between March 2020 and May 2022. The statistical analysis involved the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. At total of 189 patients were included, of whom 82 (43.4%) presented cirAEs. Most participants (56.6%) were diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mortality and progression rates were lower in patients with vs without cirAEs (p < 0.0001). Cox models showed that cirAEs were a protective factor for overall survival (adjusted HR 0.50; p < 0.0001) and progression-free survival (adjusted HR 0.54; p = 0.001) independently of cancer type, tumour stage or immune checkpoint inhibitor category. There were similar results for extracutaneous irAEs. A limitation was the single-centre design. CirAE occurrence is positively associated with longer survival and less cancer progression among immune checkpoint inhibitor recipients independently of other factors.
