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

Nivolumab and ipilimumab are immune checkpoint inhibitors. Combination therapy with these two drugs has been shown to improve the outcome of advanced renal cell carcinoma. However, data about the safety and the efficacy of combination therapy with these two drugs in hemodialysis patients are small. A 59-year-old male hemodialysis patient presented with bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, which was located at the right femur. He received nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy. At 7 months after treatment, he was diagnosed with diabetes as an immune-related adverse event. He was managed with insulin therapy. At 11 months after treatment, CT revealed cytoreduction of metastasis. A 74-year-old male hemodialysis patient presented with bone metastasis of renal cell carcinoma located at the sacrum and left scapula. He received nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy. At 6 months after treatment, CT showed no progression of metastasis. Nivolumab and ipilimumab therapy might be a viable treatment for hemodialysis patients with bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. However, close attention should be paid immune-related adverse events in such patients.
