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 checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a new class of antitumor agents. They enhance antitumor effects by blocking inhibitory receptors and related ligands expressed on T cells. ICIs also modulate regular immune cell activity, affecting the immune system and causing immune-related adverse events. The renal system is sometimes affected by these adverse events. Currently, the literature on ICIs-related glomerular injuries is scarce. CASE SUMMARY: We present a patient who developed granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) 3 weeks after treatment with the anti-programmed cell death-1 inhibitor, tislelizumab. The patient experienced proteinuria, hematuria, and acute kidney injury without pulmonary hemorrhage and tested positive for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-cytoplasmic type. Renal biopsy confirmed ANCA-associated vasculitis, and GPA was finally diagnosed. The patient received pulse treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, and renal function improved. After self-discontinuation of the drug, the disease recurred, and the original treatment regimen was continued. However, the patient's renal function continued to deteriorate.

conclusionGlucocorticoids plus cyclophosphamide are effective for treating GPA induced by tislelizumab. However, follow-up and patient education are needed.
