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

Tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, is associated with immune-related hepatitis in 1.8% of cases, but reports of acute liver failure (ALF) remain exceedingly rare. We present a case of fulminant hepatitis and ALF following Tislelizumab therapy in a 55-year-old woman with locally advanced cervical adenocarcinoma. After three cycles of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and Tislelizumab, she developed grade 4 immune-mediated hepatitis and ALF following a fourth Tislelizumab dose, marked by severe transaminitis (AST 5329 U/L, ALT 2384 U/L), coagulopathy (INR 5.85), hyperbilirubinemia (TBIL 56.99 IU/L), and hepatic encephalopathy. Management included plasma exchange, continuous hemofiltration, high-dose corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents. Despite aggressive intervention, the patient's condition deteriorated, underscoring the rapid progression of Tislelizumab-induced hepatotoxicity. This case highlights the critical need for vigilant monitoring of high-risk patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors and early intervention for suspected immune-mediated liver injury.
