Acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis in a patient with metastatic melanoma on targeted therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib-A case report.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCombination molecular targeted therapy with dabrafenib plus trametinib has been shown to improve progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with BRAF V600 mutated unresectable or metastatic melanoma. In general, these agents are well tolerated. Kidney related adverse events are uncommon with only three case reports of acute interstitial nephritis and one case of a serious acute kidney injury. We report another case of interstitial nephritis related to these drugs. CASE: A 37-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic melanoma (BRAF V600E mutation) who developed acute interstitial nephritis 5 years into his treatment with combination dabrafenib plus trametinib therapy. He presented with an asymptomatic acute kidney injury on routine surveillance pathology with a creatinine of 174 μmol/L (from baseline 80 μmol/L) and a corresponding estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 42 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionAlthough rare, recognition of acute interstitial nephritis, a possible serious adverse outcome due to dabrafenib and trametinib is important and needs to be incorporated into current Australian cancer therapy guidelines.
