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

Most immune checkpoint inhibitors currently used in clinical practice, such as programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD 1/PD L1) inhibitors and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA 4) inhibitors, are monospecific antibodies acting on a single target. In contrast, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) contain an additional specific antigen binding site, enabling dual signaling pathway blockade and more potent inhibition of tumor growth. In June 2022, the first PD 1/CTLA 4 BsAb cadonilimab (AK104) was approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China for the treatment of cervical cancer and gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Owing to its recent market approval, only a limited number of studies have reported immune related adverse events (irAEs) associated with this drug, involving the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and other organs. Thus far, no case of cadonilimab related multi organ injury has been described. In this article, we report the first case of severe immune related multi organ and endocrine system injury induced by cadonilimab in the treatment of cervical cancer. In addition, we conducted a retrospective literature analysis comparing the adverse drug reaction (ADR) profiles of immune checkpoint inhibitor monospecific antibodies and BsAbs. The aim of this analysis was to provide a reference for the rational use of cadonilimab. Early recognition of irAEs, identification of risk factors, regular monitoring, use of corticosteroids, and supportive care are critical for improving clinical outcomes. It should be emphasized that the oncologic benefits of BsAb therapy generally outweigh the risks of ADRs, and treatment should not be discontinued or delayed except in rare circumstances (e.g., multi organ failure). In case of ADR occurrence, familiarity of the healthcare professionals with the relevant irAEs is essential to facilitate effective diagnosis and appropriate management of this increasingly common pattern of multi organ injury.
