Clinical features of nivolumab-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis: retrospective analysis based on case reports.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Background: Stevens - Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a life-threatening adverse reaction to nivolumab. This study investigated the clinical features of nivolumab induced SJS/TEN to provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment. Methods: Relevant articles on nivolumab induced SJS/TEN published before December 31, 2024 were collected by searching the database, and then extracting the data for summary analysis. Results: Thirty-one patients were enrolled with a median age of 65 years (range 43, 86). SJS/TEN appear at a median of 5.5 weeks (range, 0.9 108). Bullae/blisters (64.5%), erythema (54.8%), skin rash (54.8%), epidermal detachment (29.0%) and pain (29.0%) were the main skin symptoms. Skin biopsy showed epidermal necrosis (41.9%), keratinocytic necrosis (38.7%), interface dermatitis (29.0%) and inflammatory cell infiltration (45.2%). After stopping nivolumab and receiving treatment, 74.2% of the patients had improvement in skin symptoms, and 22.6% of the patients died of TEN. Conclusion: As a rare immune-related adverse event of nivolumab, SJS/TEN should be closely monitored during the treatment. Nivolumab induced SJS/TEN has a long incubation period, serious clinical symptoms and poor prognosis.
