Evaluation of factors affecting epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced hepatotoxicity in Japanese patients with non-small cell lung cancer: a two-center retrospective study.

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
backgroundGefitinib and erlotinib, are epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and are currently recommended for non-small cell lung cancer stage IV in the elderly and in patients with decreased performance status in the Japanese Lung Cancer Society Guideline, but they occasionally caused severe hepatotoxicity requiring postponement or modification of treatment. However, little is known about the risk factors for hepatotoxicity in patients receiving gefitinib and erlotinib. In this study, we investigated the factors influencing hepatotoxicity in Japanese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy.
methodsJapanese patients with NSCLC who started gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy from January 2005 to December 2017 at Kanazawa University Hospital or Kanazawa Medical University Hospital were included in this study. Factors affecting hepatotoxicity were retrospectively investigated by multiple logistic regression analysis.
resultsA total of 102 patients who received gefitinib and 95 patients who received erlotinib were included in the analysis. In the gefitinib group, a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 was associated with an increased risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 4.571, 95% CI = 1.486-14.056, P = 0.008). In the erlotinib group, concomitant use of acid-suppressing medications (AS), namely proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 receptor antagonists, was associated with a reduced risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 0.341, 95% CI = 0.129-0.900, P = 0.030).
conclusionsBMI ≥ 25 in patients treated with gefitinib increased the risk of hepatotoxicity. In contrast, AS combination with erlotinib reduced the risk of hepatotoxicity. Thus, because different factors influence the risk of hepatotoxicity, monitoring for adverse events should take into account patient background factors and concomitant medications.
