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

Mass-forming pancreatitis and lipodystrophy are rare immune-related adverse events (irAEs). A 71-year-old woman received 12 cycles of pembrolizumab for recurrent uterine endometrial cancer. The patient presented with mass-forming pancreatitis and lipodystrophy. A needle biopsy of the pancreatic tissue revealed lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis. Simultaneously, the patient exhibited lipodystrophy. The recurrent tumors disappeared, so the patient discontinued immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment and was administered oral prednisolone. In addition, the pancreatic mass disappeared; however, the fat loss did not improve. Considering pancreatitis and lipodystrophy to be irAEs, prompt management is important.
