The incidence and trends of proteinuria, azotemia and hypertension in cats receiving toceranib phosphate.

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
objectivesThis retrospective study aimed to determine the incidence and trends of proteinuria, elevations in serum creatinine and urea, and systolic blood pressure in cats undergoing treatment with toceranib.
methodsIn total, 32 cats treated with toceranib for malignancies were analyzed. Cats were included if urinalysis and urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) measurements were available at 28 days (T1) and 56 days (T2) after starting the treatment. Cats with concurrent lower urinary tract disease, including urinary tract malignancy, were excluded. Friedman's ANOVA compared variables between time points, and the Spearman test assessed the correlation between treatment duration and UPC.
resultsThe median starting dose of toceranib was 2.68 mg/kg (range 1.7-3.9). In total, 15 (46.9%) cats received concurrent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The most commonly treated tumors were oral squamous cell carcinoma (n = 10) and mast cell tumor (n = 5). None of the 32 cats developed progressive proteinuria or azotemia during the follow-up period (median 56 days; range 56-336). Notably, UPC and serum creatinine were significantly lower at T2 compared with baseline ( CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The incidence of proteinuria, renal azotemia and hypertension in cats treated with toceranib for neoplasia appears to be low. Toceranib may be a viable treatment option even in cats with pre-existing proteinuria or renal disease, with careful monitoring of trends recommended.
