Management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma following prior vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted therapy: A real-world retrospective study from Taiwan.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03633579, which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThere are limited real-world data to guide the sequencing of targeted therapies in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The objective of this study was to characterize real-world treatment patterns (primarily second line [2L]) after prior vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) targeted therapy in an unselected mRCC population from Taiwan between 2013 and 2017. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) and their management were also evaluated (NCT03633579).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients who had received prior VEGF-targeted therapy and were treated at the National Taiwan University Hospital or the Taipei Veterans General Hospital between June 2013 and December 2017. Outcomes were characterized using descriptive statistics.
resultsOverall, 27 patients were included: 22 (81.5%) male; mean standard deviation (SD) age, 63.1 (11.1) years; 18 (66.7%) initiated targeted therapy during the year immediately following mRCC diagnosis. All patients received sunitinib as their first-line (1L) targeted therapy, with a median (range) treatment duration of 10 (1.8-65.8) months. The most common reason for discontinuing 1L sunitinib was disease progression (88.9% of patients). Everolimus was the most common 2L targeted therapy, in 23 patients (85.2%); 4 patients (14.8%) received 2L axitinib. Median (range) duration of 2L therapy was 4.0 (0.1-30.5) months for everolimus and 4.2 (0.5-9.2) months for axitinib. Ten TRAEs were reported among seven patients receiving 2L everolimus: hypertension (n = 5), hand-foot syndrome (n = 2), hyperglycemia (n = 1), renal failure (n = 1), and interstitial pneumonitis (n = 1). The majority (80%) of TRAEs were managed in the outpatient setting. No TRAEs were reported in the axitinib group.
conclusionReal-world management of patients with mRCC in Taiwan broadly aligned with clinical guidelines and national reimbursement policy at the time of the study. These findings may be a useful reference for assessing the implications of evolving mRCC management approaches in Taiwan.
