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

This review appraises the current literature on carcinogenic risks in anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). Patients with AAV are often at increased risk of developing non-melanoma skin carcinomas (NMSCs), haematological malignancies, bladder, breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal carcinomas. Reported cancer incidence in these patients ranged from 10 to 26%. Cancer risks at the time of diagnosis of AAV and disease outcomes along the trajectory of AAV that may lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD); dialysis and transplantation are summarized. Inherent carcinogenic risks as part of immunosuppressive treatment in AAV are further detailed with considerations on specific malignancy risks of therapeutic agents used. Challenges that contribute to malignancy risk include a high relapse rate of AAV and prolonged exposure to immunosuppressants. The incidence of malignancy increases significantly after 5 years of immunosuppressant exposure though risks in the earlier years have also been described. Following renal transplantation, there is limited information available on risk of malignancy. Thoughtful use of immunosuppressants, modification of lifestyle, and environmental factors, as well as adopting appropriate cancer screening will likely influence malignancy risk in individuals with AAV.
