Successful Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Rechallenge After Sintilimab-Induced Pancreatitis: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most prevalent and the second most lethal cancer in China. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have dramatically improved treatment outcomes for advanced HCC. However, ICIs can also cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including the rare occurrence of ICI-related pancreatitis (ICIPI). After successful treatment of ICI-related pancreatitis, further research is needed to determine whether continuation of ICI therapy is appropriate for the patient. Currently, the clinical feasibility of resuming ICI therapy following complete resolution of ICIPI has not been definitively established. We report A 28-year-old patient diagnosed as unresectable HCC was treated with sintinilab, a programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, but he started appearing abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ICIPI. Following complete resolution of pancreatitis, immunotherapy was resumed with an alternative PD-1 inhibitor, tislelizumab. Ultimately achieving tumor partial response. ICIPI is a rare clinical event, and there is no unified management approach. In this case, after immune re-challenge, it not only prevented recurrence of immune ICIPI but also sustained a durable tumor partial response throughout the longitudinal follow-up period. This provides a practical treatment strategy for managing ICI-related adverse events in clinical practice.
