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

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are potentially fatal cutaneous adverse events of drug treatment. Evidence for SJS/TEN risk from current anticancer therapies in population-based studies is scarce. Objective: The present study aims to characterize the profiles and risk factors of SJS/TEN related to contemporary anticancer regimens. Methods: Reported odds ratios (ROR) were employed to identify anticancer drugs associated with SJS/TEN development using FAERS data from January 2004 to September 2024. Single factor, LASSO, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the risk factors of SJS/TEN related to anticancer therapies. Weibull shape parameter analysis was applied to the onset time of reported SJS/TEN. Results: A total of 3471 unique SJS/TEN events were identified for 159 anticancer drug pairs, of which 31 drugs were identified as significantly disproportionate. Targeted therapies accounted for 35.93% of pairs, chemotherapies for 35.52%, and immunotherapies for 21.52%. The median onset time of SJS/TEN with anticancer therapies was 17 days. Moreover, multivariable logistic regression showed that age exceeding 65, female gender, and 10 anticancer drugs were significant risk factors for anticancer therapy-related SJS/TEN. Conclusions: This study provides real-world evidence regarding the burden of SJS/TEN associated with anticancer therapies. Addressing this knowledge gap will facilitate the optimization of clinical management for SJS/TEN. Further research to establish causality and inform clinical decision-making related to anticancer therapy-associated SJS/TEN is urgently needed.
