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

Enterocolitis is a common immune-related adverse event associated with cancer immunotherapy. Current guidelines inform first-line pharmacologic management of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related enterocolitis; however, treatment in refractory cases is uncertain. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman with refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-related enterocolitis requiring treatment with a combination of janus kinase inhibition, therapeutic plasma exchange, and fecal microbiota transplantation after failure of several lines of therapy. This is the first report of the combination of upadacitinib, plasma exchange, and fecal microbiota transplant for refractory enterocolitis.
