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

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a significant role as a pro-angiogenic and pro-permeability factor within the kidney. Bevacizumab is a pharmaceutical monoclonal anti-VEGF antibody that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels, which blocks blood supply and thereby restricts tumor growth. Thus, we conducted a nationwide study to explore the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) development in Taiwan residents after bevacizumab therapy. We drew data from the extensive National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), which encompasses data from >99% of Taiwan's population from 1995 onwards. Individuals who received bevacizumab between 2012-2018 were identified as the bevacizumab cohort, with the index date set at the first usage. We randomly selected dates within the study period for the control group to serve as index dates. We excluded patients with a history of CKD prior to the index date or those <20 years old. In both cohorts, patients' propensity scores matched in a 1:1 ratio based on sex, age, index year, income, urbanization level, comorbidities, and medications. We found patients treated with bevacizumab had a significantly higher risk of contracting CKD than patients without bevacizumab (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.35, 95% confidence interval = 1.35-1.73). The risk of CKD was 1.35-fold higher in participants with bevacizumab treatment than those in the control group. These findings suggest that close monitoring of CKD development after bevacizumab administration is needed.
