Risk of gastrointestinal events with newly approved (after 2011) vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeWe performed a meta-analysis to systematically review the gastrointestinal (GI) events (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anorexia) of five newly approved (after 2011) VEGFR-TKIs in cancer patients.
methodsThe relevant studies of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in cancer patients treated with cabozantinib, vandetanib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and axitinib were retrieved and the systematic evaluation was conducted.
resultsForty-one randomized controlled trials and 10,860 patients were included. Current analysis suggested that the use of these agents increased the risk of all-grade and high-grade GI events, and the diarrhea was the most common GI events. The risk of all-grade and high-grade GI events varies significantly within drug types, tumor types, and VEGFR-TKIs-based regimens.
conclusionThe available data suggested that the use of the five newly approved VEGFR-TKIs may increase risk of GI events in cancer patients. Physicians and patients should be aware of these risks and frequent monitoring and careful management should be emphasized when managing these VEGFR-TKIs.
