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

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the hemorrhage risk in solid tumor patients receiving angiogenesis inhibitors (AGIs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and their combination using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: Data from Q1 2011 to Q4 2023 were extracted from the FAERS database for solid tumor patients treated with AGIs, ICIs, or their combination. A disproportionality analysis was conducted by calculating the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI), as well as the Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), to identify potential safety signals. To assess whether the hemorrhage risk is higher with combination therapy compared to monotherapy, additive and multiplicative models were employed to evaluate the interactions between combination and single-agent treatments. Results: The combination of AGIs and ICIs significantly increased the risk of hemorrhagic adverse events, particularly tumor and pulmonary hemorrhage. Hemorrhagic events were common in females (50.97%) and older patients (aged 64+), frequently occurring within the first 30 days of treatment (38.11%). Gingival hemorrhage (ROR 3, PRR 418.9) and tumor hemorrhage (ROR 9.65, PRR 1893.36) were most common in the AGI group, while tumor hemorrhage (ROR 9.49, PRR 1350.78) and pulmonary hemorrhage (ROR 2.6, PRR 98.97) were prominent in the ICI group. In the combination group, esophageal variceal hemorrhage (ROR 40.72, PRR 2344.72) and tumor hemorrhage (ROR 19.31, PRR 1056.63) exhibited significantly increased risks Additive and multiplicative models indicated that the excess risk (RD Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the combination of AGIs and ICIs significantly raises the risk of hemorrhage, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced monitoring protocols in clinical practice to improve treatment efficacy and safety.
