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 inhibitors (ICIs) are associated with rare but potentially fatal immune-related adverse events, including myocarditis, vasculitis, and hypophysitis. CASE SUMMARY: A 53-year-old man with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma receiving ipilimumab and nivolumab presented with a clinical picture suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography showed severe triple-vessel disease without a culprit lesion; repeat angiography demonstrated resolution of coronary lesions, consistent with vasospasm. Cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed ICI-associated myocarditis. Concurrent hypophysitis causing secondary adrenal insufficiency was diagnosed. The patient improved with corticosteroids, with full recovery of cardiac function. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates a rare treatable quadrad of immune-related adverse events-coronary vasospasm, myocarditis, pericarditis, and hypophysitis-and highlights coronary vasospasm as a reversible and underrecognized manifestation of ICI-associated myocarditis. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Coronary vasospasm can mimic obstructive coronary disease and should be considered in immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis. Multisystem immune-related adverse events, including myocarditis, pericarditis, and hypophysitis, may present simultaneously and require prompt multidisciplinary care.
