Pharmacovigilance Evaluation of Noninfectious Myocarditis and Pericarditis in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Recipients Using FAERS.

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
IntroductionImmune-related adverse events (irAEs) pose considerable challenges to the clinical application of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis is a class of ICI-associated adverse events with a high fatality rate in real-world settings. This study aimed to comprehensively assess noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis adverse events associated with ICIs.MethodsReports of ICI-related noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis AEs were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Disproportionality analysis was performed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR). Serious and non-serious outcomes of noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis cases were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test or chi-squared test, and clinical priority was assigned to signals by scoring five features on a 0- to 10-point scale. Factors associated with reporting were explored based on stratified analyses.ResultsReports of noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis AEs accounted for 1.67% of all ICI AE reports during the study period in the FAERS database. The median age of the patients was 70 years (interquartile range [IQR] 62-76), and 94.66% of reports had serious outcomes. Eight categories of noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis AEs with positive RORs were identified. Noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis AEs treated with ICIs were more frequently reported in male and older patients. Of note, 2, 3 and 3 AEs were identified as strong, moderate, and weak clinical priorities, respectively. The median time to onset (TTO) of strong, moderate and weak AEs for ICI treatments was 25 (IQR 14-61), 56 (IQR 24.50-116.25) and 124 (IQR 29-301) days, respectively. All disproportionality signals showed early-failure patterns, with the hazard of AE reporting decreasing over time.ConclusionsThis study suggests a significant disproportionality signal between ICIs and noninfectious myocarditis/pericarditis AEs, and the findings provide supporting evidence for clinicians in managing these AEs.
