The Immuno-oncology-Induced Cytokine Release Syndrome Patient Diary: A Content-Valid, Patient-Reported Outcome Measure.
Article in Oncology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionCytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurs when the immune system reacts excessively to infections or certain immunotherapies, leading to a systemic inflammatory response. The clinical presentation of CRS is highly variable, ranging from mild symptoms, such as fever and fatigue, to severe, life-threatening conditions. Currently, there is no standardized method for collecting patient-reported data on CRS experiences. This study aims to develop a novel patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to capture patients' experience with CRS.
methodsA comprehensive, multistep evidence-generation process was employed, including several research steps: a literature review and analysis of Sanofi clinical trial adverse event data, semi-structured interviews with clinical experts, advisory board meetings with clinical trial investigators, concept elicitation interviews with patients who experienced CRS, a PROM development workshop, cognitive debriefing interviews with clinical trial investigators, and cognitive debriefing interviews with patients.
resultsThis review identified various CRS-related signs and symptoms from literature and anonymized safety data from clinical trials. Clinical experts validated the preliminary conceptual model (CM) and identified additional relevant symptoms. Patient interviews revealed further symptoms and impacts, leading to the development of the immuno-oncology (IO)-induced CRS patient diary. This PROM was refined through iterative feedback from clinical experts and patients, ensuring it effectively captures the incidence, severity, and impact of CRS symptoms.
conclusionsThe "IO-induced CRS patient diary" can be considered a content-valid tool for capturing and monitoring the most important patient-reportable symptoms and impacts of CRS in IO clinical trials. This PROM can provide a standardized understanding of IO-induced CRS from the patient perspective, where to date this has been mainly clinically assessed using diverse assessments.
