Unilateral renal artery stenosis with renal atrophy in a patient with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with sorafenib.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. 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
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been recently introduced for treatment of different malignancies. Various cardiovascular toxicities have been reported with TKIs with hypertension being the most common adverse cardiovascular event. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman who developed left renal artery stenosis associated with renal atrophy in the context of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with sorafenib. Renal atrophy was noticed during serial imaging studies to monitor cancer therapy. Clinically, she was asymptomatic without significant change in blood pressure. The glomerular filtration rate dropped from 88 ml/min/1.73 m(2) at baseline to 56 ml/min/1.73 ml/min and partially recovered to 71 ml/min/1.73 m(2) after renal artery stenting. To our knowledge, this will be the first known case of renal artery stenosis associated with TKI use. Physicians may need to investigate the possibility of developing renal artery stenosis in patients with unexplained worsening in kidney functions while on TKIs.
