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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause endocrine toxicities, although involvement of multiple hormonal axes is uncommon. Hypophysitis associated with programmed death-1 inhibitors such as pembrolizumab may lead to life-threatening central adrenal insufficiency and can present diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who developed pembrolizumab-induced hypophysitis resulting in central adrenal insufficiency with delayed recognition, and concurrent immune-related thyroiditis.
