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-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) share symptomatic and therapeutic similarities with chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs). However, the molecular distinctions between irAEs and CIDs remain unclear. Herein, we systematically compared irAEs and CIDs across multiple tissues using large-scale multi-omics profiling.

methodsWe compiled a transcriptomic compendium of over 4.3 million cells from 1137 samples and 24 spatial transcriptomes across diverse inflammatory sites in irAEs and CIDs. In addition, we collected 526 pre-ICI and post-ICI treatment-matched blood transcriptomes coupled with germline exomes, alongside 75 serum proteomes with irAE information.

resultsHallmark gene signatures and cell states that characterize the inflammatory milieu of various irAEs and CIDs were defined. Across tissues, irAEs involve a distinct inflammatory ecosystem enriched with myeloid-derived components, including

conclusionsOur multimodal analyses highlight key differences between irAEs and CIDs, indicating that irAEs constitute a distinct inflammatory ecosystem that differentiates them from CIDs. Our study provides insights into potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for improved irAE management.
