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

backgroundThe change in renal function induced by first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma remains unclear.

methodsOne hundred and thirty-four patients were evaluated. Sunitinib (SU) and sorafenib (SO) were administered to 91 (67.9%) and 43 (32.1%) patients, respectively. The change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (ΔeGFR) was calculated as [(eGFR at each time point - pre-treatment eGFR)/pre-treatment eGFR] × 100. ΔeGFR was compared between SU- and SO users using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures data with two or greater. Additionally, predictors for ΔeGFR ≤ -10% at 6 months after therapy initiation were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis.

resultsThroughout the 24 months after therapy initiation, ΔeGFR was negatively greater in SU users, compared with that in SO users (P < 0.0001). In SU users, renal dysfunction was observed regardless of pre-treatment chronic kidney disease (CKD) status, whereas the magnitude of renal dysfunction was milder in SO users. In SO users without pre-treatment CKD, renal function did not significantly deteriorate. Moreover, ΔeGFR ≤ -10% was more frequently observed in SU users after 3 months (P = 0.0121) and 6 months (P = 0.0009). Finally, SU usage was an independent predictor for ΔeGFR ≤ -10% at 6 months (odds ratio 8.87, P = 0.0053), along with pre-treatment hypertension (odds ratio 4.69, P = 00072).

conclusionsDeterioration of renal function was stronger with SU than SO. During SU therapy, renal function should be monitored and pre-treatment kidney function should be taken into consideration for therapy selection.
