Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of risk factors.
Synthesis in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAs a novel antineoplastic drug, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are associated with a spectrum of autoimmune-related side effects, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Understanding the risk factors for immune-associated acute kidney injury will inform future symptom management measures to reduce this risk. This study aims to identify the risk factors for ICIs-AKI in cancer patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsThe systematic search was conducted in The Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and VIP Database. The related studies published since the establishment of the database to Aug 22, 2022, were screened, data was extracted following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of the selected studies was assessed by Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The above was performed independently by the two reviewers. The estimated pooled odds ratios (ORs) for risk factors of developing ICIs-AKI were conducted by random-effects meta-analysis.
resultsA total of 8 publications, including 5267 patients, were included. Meta-analysis results showed that extrarenal immune-related adverse events (irAEs), therapy with the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), male, hypertension, pre-existent use of a diuretic, and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) were significantly correlated to ICIs-AKI.
conclusionsWe identified extrarenal irAEs, CTLA-4 treatments, males, hypertension, previous use of diuretics, and PPIs are essential predictors of ICIs-AKI. These findings are helpful for healthcare providers to monitor ICIs-AKI for management and timely interventions.
