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.

Abstract

introductionInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is a concerning adverse event associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, including durvalumab. This analysis of the multicenter AYAME study assessed the longterm safety of durvalumab, focusing on ILD.

methodsAYAME enrolled patients prescribed durvalumab for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) from July 2019 to December 2020 in Japan. Patients received durvalumab for ≤ 12 months and were prospectively followed for 3 years. Incidence, severity, and management of ILD were examined. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the association of patient characteristics with grade ≥ 2 ILD occurrence.

resultsOf 511 patients in the safety analysis population, ILD occurred in 383 patients (75.0%) from durvalumab initiation to subsequent treatment start; median time to occurrence was 44.0 days. ILD led to permanent durvalumab discontinuation in 121/383 patients (31.6%), dose interruption in 111/383 (29.0%), and corticosteroid intervention in 168/383 (43.9%). Grade ≥ 2 ILD occurrence was higher in patients with volume of lung parenchyma that received 20 Gy (V20) ≥ 25% versus < 25% (60.3% vs. 29.4%; adjusted odds ratio 2.20, 95% confidence interval 1.08-4.48), 5 Gy (V5) ≥ median (37.85%) versus < median (51.5% vs. 27.2%; 1.79, 1.07-3.00), and grade 1 ILD before durvalumab administration versus no ILD (50.0% vs. 37.6%; 2.11, 1.07-4.17).

conclusionsThis study of durvalumab for NSCLC after CRT in a real-world setting indicated factors associated with grade ≥ 2 ILD and provided valuable insights into ILD management strategies. These findings may contribute to establishing effective approaches to minimize ILD risk in practice.
