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

introductionImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, although effective in treating patients with a variety of advanced malignancies, can result in potentially severe or even fatal immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This study aimed to generate real-world evidence on irAE characteristics, clinical management and clinical outcomes among patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) malignant melanoma (a/mMM) or advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) treated with nivolumab (NIVO) and/or ipilimumab (IPI) in the UK.

methodsThis was a multi-centre, retrospective cohort study of adult patients with a/mMM or aRCC, who received NIVO and/or IPI at one of five specialist treatment centres in the UK between 1 January 2016 and 31 March 2020. The incidence and grading of irAEs were described, as well as time to irAE onset, the management of irAEs and overall survival (OS).

resultsIn total, 199 patients were included in the study: 162 with a/mMM and 37 with aRCC. The majority of patients in both a/mMM (75.3%) and aRCC (62.2%) cohorts reported any irAE, while 45.9% and 30.4% in the a/mMM and aRCC cohorts reported grade 3 or 4 irAEs, respectively. Colitis/diarrhoea, skin reactions and hepatitis were most frequently reported, and the predominant treatment prescribed for any irAE was corticosteroids only. Analysis indicated a positive association between the development of an irAE and longer OS.

conclusionsFindings from this study support current literature, provide further insights into the characteristics and clinical management of irAEs and support an association between the development of an irAE and improved OS in these patient groups.
