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

The indications for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) use in cancer treatment continue to expand. This is attributable to their proven anticancer activity in addition to their tolerability and favorable toxicity profile as compared to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. ICIs work by blocking the inhibitory signals between tumor cells and T-cells, thereby enhancing the T-cell cytotoxic activity to inhibit tumor growth. Because of their immune-stimulating effect, ICIs are linked to adverse renal outcomes in both native and transplanted kidneys. The risk of kidney allograft rejection in the setting of ICI use has been reported to be around 40%, leading to an increased risk of graft loss. In this report, we review the literature examining outcomes in kidney transplant recipients receiving ICIs for various oncologic indications.
