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

backgroundBevacizumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor that is used off-label for select cases of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) that are severe, involve the distal airway or lung parenchyma, and refractory to other forms of adjuvant therapy. However, there is limited safety data for the use of bevacizumab in children and VEGF inhibitors are reported to have a range of adverse renal effects, including hypertension, proteinuria, and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: This report describes a case of severe juvenile-onset RRP that had an exceptionally high operative burden that was refractory to several adjuvant treatment strategies (including intralesional cidofovir and subcutaneous pegylated interferon). Bevacizumab treatment resulted in a dramatic and sustained improvement in disease control over a 5-year period. However, after 3 years of treatment, the patient developed hypertension and proteinuria and was found to have evidence of a glomerular TMA on kidney biopsy. These complications were successfully managed with a reduction in bevacizumab frequency and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor initiation.

conclusionsClinicians caring for children treated with VEGF inhibitors should be aware of the potential renal complications and their management.
