Consequences of adverse events in cancer immunotherapy combinations - a comprehensive real-world analysis.
Article in Immunotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are pivotal in systemic anticancer therapy. The aim of the study was to investigate incidence, severity and consequences of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in ICI combinations by comparing different adverse events classification systems.
methodsA retrospective multicentre cohort study included patients treated with ICI combinations. IrAEs were assessed by CTCAE v.5, NCC MERP index and SITC consensus for chronic irAEs.
resultsAmong 612 patients, 244 (40%) experienced 354 irAEs, in total 58 irAEs per 100 patients varying between treatments. Higher incidence was observed for autoimmune disease, thoracic radiotherapy, melanoma, dual ICI and ICI/TKI. Severe irAEs occurred in 147 patients, leading to treatment discontinuation and hospitalization in half of the patients. Chronic irAEs were common, with 64% persisting beyond three months after ICI discontinuation, 22% of these resolved (median 135 steroid days, 154 days to resolution). Common chronic toxicities included endocrine, pulmonary or rheumatic irAEs. Fatal irAEs affected 16 patients, primarily from pneumonitis, colitis or hepatitis.
conclusionNCC MERP better captured clinical consequences compared to CTCAE, while SITC criteria uniquely identified long-term irAEs. Severe and chronic irAEs were frequent, emphasizing the need for improved communication about irAE management and prospective studies with revised toxicity definitions.ClinicalTrials.govIDNCT06476158.
