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: Coronary artery spasm (CAS), one of the etiologies for MINOCA, is an uncommon cause of acute chest pain. Toripalimab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1), exhibits a wide range of anti-tumor activities. Nevertheless, instances of toripalimab-induced cardiotoxicity have been seldom reported. Methods: We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who experienced MINOCA subsequent to the administration of toripalimab. Based on the patient's symptoms, electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, and coronary angiography, transient occurrence CAS was established. The patient was prescribed diltiazem sustained-release capsules. During his follow-up on an outpatient basis, he did not experience a recurrence of the previously reported chest discomfort or any other symptoms. We used the CARE checklist when writing our report. Conclusion: This is the first case report of MINOCA induced by toripalimab, mediated through coronary artery spasm. This case report emphasizes the awareness regarding the potential for severe cardiovascular complications associated with the administration of toripalimab.
