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

Background: While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy, neurological immune-related adverse events (n-irAEs) associated with these agents are increasingly recognized. However, kelch-like protein-11(KLHL11)-IgG cerebellitis has not been reported as an n-irAE. Case presentation: We report a case of a 53-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma treated with tislelizumab who developed KLHL11-IgG cerebellitis. First-line immunotherapy, comprising intravenous methylprednisolone and immunoglobulin, failed to improved his symptoms. Subsequent administration of efgartigimod (10 mg/kg weekly for 4 doses) led to seroconversion of KLHL11-IgG and marked clinical recovery. Conclusion: This is the first report of efgartigimod as a successful rescue therapy for isolated ICI-related KLHL11-IgG cerebellitis. These findings support efgartigimod as a promising treatment option for this condition.
