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

Nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, enhances anti-tumor immunity but can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Although irAE-colitis usually occurs within 2-3 months of starting nivolumab, we report a rare case that developed 38 months after treatment initiation. A 75-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma received multiple lines of molecular targeted therapies before starting nivolumab. After progression of bone metastases, nivolumab was reinitiated and maintained a complete response of bilateral iliac bone metastases for three years. He subsequently developed Grade 3 diarrhea. Colonoscopy revealed diffuse inflammation from rectum to sigmoid colon, and pathological examination showed findings consistent with irAE-colitis. Prompt initiation of prednisolone 60 mg/day led to complete symptom resolution within two weeks. This case represents the first reported instance of irAE-colitis occurring after 38 months of nivolumab treatment. It is essential to conduct regular follow-up examinations and actively perform diagnostic tests when symptoms arise, ensuring vigilance for the potential occurrence of delayed-onset irAEs to facilitate appropriate management.
