Capecitabine-Related Thrombotic Microangiopathy.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeRenal injury is common in cancer patients and its etiology is multifactorial. Different patterns of renal histological lesions have been described in relation to oncologic treatments, notably acute tubular necrosis and tubulointerstitial nephritis, but also thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).
methodsWe report a case of TMA secondary to capecitabine in an 82-year-old woman diagnosed with localized colon adenocarcinoma.
resultsThe patient, with previous normal kidney function, presented with renal impairment during the fourth cycle of chemotherapy. After potential nephrotoxic factors were ruled out, capecitabine was discontinued and a kidney biopsy was performed, which displayed TMA lesions. An improvement in renal function was observed after definitive cessation of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Although rare, renal toxicity in the form of TMA may be associated with the use of cytotoxic agents such as gemcitabine, but there is no reported evidence of its association to capecitabine. Early withdrawal of the drug and nephrology consultation is necessary to prevent irreversible damage.
conclusionWe describe, to our knowledge, the first case reported in the literature regarding the possible association of TMA and capecitabine.
