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

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies have been established as the standard-of-care in various uro-oncological cancers. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are frequent, but their degree rarely leads to the discontinuation of immunotherapies. Unplanned permanent treatment discontinuation may negatively impact the outcomes of patients, but there are emerging data about a positive correlation between emergence of severe irAEs and therapeutic cancer responses. In this study, a retrospective analysis of patients treated for urothelial carcinoma (UC) with ICI-based immunotherapy was conducted. irAEs were classified according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEs) and radiological responses according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECISTs). Out of 108 patients with metastatic urothelial cancer that underwent immunotherapy, 11 experienced a severe irAE that required permanent discontinuation of ICI therapy. The most frequent irAEs leading to discontinuation were hepatitis (
