Initial Dose Tarlatamab-Associated Tumour Lysis Syndrome in Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report.

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.
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
Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) in solid tumours is rare but may occur in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) with a high tumour burden. We report a case of fatal TLS following tarlatamab treatment for relapsed SCLC. A 61-year-old woman with limited-stage SCLC developed recurrence with extensive liver metastases after chemoradiotherapy and durvalumab consolidation therapy. Owing to rapid disease progression, an initial 1-mg step-up dose of tarlatamab was administered as second-line treatment. On Day 2, the patient developed mild cytokine release syndrome, which improved with dexamethasone. On Day 6, she suddenly developed respiratory failure and impaired consciousness. Laboratory findings, including elevated lactate dehydrogenase, potassium, phosphorus and uric acid levels with acute kidney injury, suggested TLS and she died later that day. This case demonstrates that tarlatamab can induce fatal TLS even after a single 1-mg dose. Patients with SCLC with extensive liver metastases require careful monitoring and aggressive strategies for TLS prevention.
