Risk Factors for Early Onset of Proteinuria in Patients Receiving Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in Liver cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Introduction: Proteinuria is one of the adverse events of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab combination therapy (Atezo + Bev) and can cause interruption in the use of Bev. However, the risk factors for proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are receiving Atezo + Bev have not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for early onset of proteinuria in Atezo + Bev for patients with unresectable HCC. Methods: Sixty-four patients with Child-Pugh scores of 5-7, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, and low level of proteinuria (1+ or less on a dipstick test and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) less than 2.0 g/g Cr) at the initiation of therapy were analyzed. The level of proteinuria was evaluated based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. We adopted the UPCR for the quantitative test instead of a 24-h urine collection. The incidence of proteinuria and changes in liver function were retrospectively investigated. Results: The cumulative incidence of proteinuria over a 24-week period was 34.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (hazard ratio [HR], 3.807; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.579-9.180; Conclusion: Our study found that controlling blood pressure is extremely important for the management of proteinuria in patients with HCC who are receiving Atezo + Bev.
