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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare but severe neurological syndrome that may stem from the use of some medications. Although its mechanism is not well-known, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction have been mentioned in previous literature as being related. Lenvatinib serves as a neoplastic agent that inhibits the tyrosine kinase of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR). VEGFR inhibitors result in endothelial dysfunction and consequent hypertension by nitric oxide pathway suppression and endothelin (ET)-1 stimulation. We hypothesized that VEGFR inhibitors would cause PRES. Herein, we report the case of a 40-year-old man with olfactory neuroblastoma who developed PRES while undergoing treatment with lenvatinib, 7 months after initiation. The symptoms included loss of consciousness and seizures. Fortunately, the symptoms and presence of PRES in imaging resolved, 7 days and 1 month, respectively, after cessation of lenvatinib.
