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 (ICIs) have beneficially impacted cancer therapy but are frequently associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), most commonly affecting the skin and gastrointestinal system. By contrast, genitourinary toxicities are rare and often underrecognized. The present case report outlines a 62-year-old male with metastatic colorectal cancer who developed pan-urinary tract irAEs (concurrent immune-related nephritis, ureteritis and cystitis) after exposure to three distinct classes of ICIs. The patient initially experienced pollakiuria, urinary urgency, dysuria and hematuria, which worsened after switching to cadonilimab and adebrelimab. This deterioration coincided with rising serum creatinine levels and lack of improvement with antibacterial treatment. Urinalysis revealed leukocyturia and hematuria, while imaging demonstrated bilateral hydroureteronephrosis and diffuse bladder wall thickening. A multidisciplinary evaluation led to the diagnosis of ICI-induced pan-urinary tract irAEs. Both urinary symptoms and renal function resolved rapidly after halting immunotherapy and starting glucocorticoid treatment, with no recurrence during follow-up. In addition, a comprehensive review of reported cases was conducted to characterize this rare irAE presentation and further propose both diagnostic criteria and management strategies to facilitate early detection and effective treatment.
