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

backgroundImmune-related eosinophilia has emerged as an adverse event associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Its prevalence, severity, duration, clinical significance, diagnostic approach, and management remain unexplored.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of melanoma patient records at a university referral center. Our analysis encompassed the incidence of eosinophilia, baseline disease characteristics, treatment modalities, peak eosinophil counts, associated symptoms, diagnostic procedures, management strategies, disease course, and prognostic implications.

resultsA total of 308 patients were included. Eosinophilia was present in 21.4%, and there was no association with gender, age, histologic type, stage, or BRAF mutation status. The median time interval from treatment initiation to the eosinophilia onset was 56 days, the median eosinophil count at first presentation was 0.70 × 10

conclusionsThis study marks the first comprehensive approach of the relationship between the type of immunotherapy and the incidence of eosinophilia in melanoma patients. It also delves into the patients' baseline characteristics, diagnostic assessment, management, and prognosis, providing useful guidance for physicians treating patients with ICIs.
