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

In recent years, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has increased and has demonstrated excellent antitumor effects. However, immunotherapy in pediatric patients remains limited, and knowledge of endocrine-related adverse effects is scarce. Here, we report a pediatric case of hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency following treatment with a combination of ICI and TKI for renal cell carcinoma. Seven weeks after treatment initiation, laboratory tests revealed free thyroxine at the lower limit of the reference range (fT4 0.96 ng/dL) and elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH 20 µIU/mL), without clinical symptoms, consistent with hypothyroidism. Three months after treatment initiation, abnormally high early morning fasting ACTH levels were observed, and the patient subsequently developed nausea and fatigue. A rapid ACTH stimulation test revealed a peak cortisol level of 12.1 µg/dL, and urinary free cortisol was low (19.2 µg/d; 13.6 µg/m
