Drug-Induced liver injury with adebrelimab: how to assess causality using the updated RUCAM?
Article in Future science OA, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo report a case of Adebrelimab-related liver injury and emphasize the role of the updated RUCAM in causality assessment for suspected immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hepatotoxicity. OBSERVATION: A 51-year-old male with small-cell lung cancer developed severe jaundice four days after his last dose of etoposide/carboplatin combined with adebrelimab, occurring after nine cycles of therapy (at 5 months) and later than the onset time described in the drug label. Baseline liver function was normal, and there was no history of hepatobiliary disease. Physical examination revealed jaundice and scleral icterus. The updated RUCAM score was 8, indicating a highly probable relationship between the regimen and liver injury, while the simplified AIH score (<6) ruled out autoimmune hepatitis. The patient's liver enzymes and bilirubin normalized, and clinical symptoms improved following treatment with low-dose methylprednisolone (1 mg/kg/d) and other supportive measures.
conclusionThis case highlights the value of applying the updated RUCAM to reliably distinguish drug-induced liver injury from other etiologies in immune checkpoint inhibitor recipients, thereby guiding appropriate clinical management.
