Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor - Associated Renal Tubular Acidosis and Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in nephrology and dialysis. 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
Introduction: Immunotherapy has significantly changed the landscape of cancer treatment, yet it can lead to immune-related adverse events, including renal complications. This report highlights a unique case of tubular injury associated with pembrolizumab in a patient with malignant melanoma. Case Presentation: A 42-year-old female patient with malignant melanoma received adjuvant pembrolizumab treatment. Three months later, she presented with profound weakness, myalgia, abdominal pain, polyuria, and thirst. Laboratory tests revealed acute kidney injury, significant proteinuria, renal tubular acidosis (RTA) with severe electrolyte imbalances, and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Management involved withholding pembrolizumab, initiating high-dose prednisone therapy, and correcting hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis. The patient showed rapid clinical improvement, with normalization of renal function and symptom resolution, allowing for discharge within a week. A follow-up visit confirmed no residual renal impairment. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing renal complications in patients undergoing treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Awareness of potential adverse effects such as RTA and NDI is crucial for prompt identification and management to prevent lasting damage.
