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

backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated paraneoplastic syndromes (PS) represent a rare but potentially life-threatening adverse event. Despite the widespread use of ICIs in cancer treatment, the clinical characteristics and risk profiles of PS across different treatment regimens remain incompletely characterized.

methodsWe analyzed FAERS data (Jan 2011-Jun 2024) to identify PS cases potentially related to ICI use. Reporting odds ratios (RORs) were calculated to evaluate safety signals. Clinical features, time-to-onset, and outcomes were analyzed across different ICI regimens.

resultsAmong 162,493 ICI-associated adverse event reports, 179 PS cases were identified. Disproportionate reporting of PS was observed with PD-1 inhibitors (ROR 21.77, 95% CI 16.36-28.97), PD-L1 inhibitors (ROR 23.33, 95% CI 14.13-38.41), nivolumab plus ipilimumab (ROR 24.21, 95% CI 18.07-32.42), and durvalumab plus tremelimumab (ROR 24.55, 95% CI 18.73-32.79). PS onset showed a bimodal distribution, with a median time to onset of 6 days, where 42.31% occurring within 30 days and 23.08% after 360 days of treatment initiation. Combination therapy, particularly durvalumab plus tremelimumab, was associated with higher rates of severe outcomes (27.8%). In patients with PS related to ICI therapy, those with lung malignancies are the most commonly represented group.

conclusionsThis analysis reveals distinct temporal patterns and safety signals of ICI-associated PS, with higher reporting rates and severity in combination therapy. These findings provide important insights for clinical monitoring strategies and highlight the need for increased vigilance during specific risk windows, particularly in patients receiving combination therapy.
