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

backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced diabetes is a rare endocrine immune-related adverse event, and long-term pancreatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings after disease onset have not been well characterized. CASE PRESENTATION: An individual developed abrupt hyperglycemia during pembrolizumab therapy for recurrent renal cell carcinoma and subsequently required insulin therapy. Serum C-peptide rapidly declined to below the detection threshold, whereas pancreatic enzyme levels remained within normal limits throughout follow-up. MRI performed 1 day after diagnosis demonstrated diffuse high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and reduced apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values throughout the pancreas. Serial imaging over 25 months showed progressive pancreatic atrophy, whereas the DWI/ADC features persisted.

conclusionThis case provides a new descriptive longitudinal radiological observation of persistent diffusion-related pancreatic MRI findings and progressive pancreatic atrophy after the onset of ICI-induced diabetes.
