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

AKI is a rare but life-threatening complication of the administration of methotrexate (MTX) at high doses (≥1 g/m 2 ) for the treatment of solid or hematological malignancies. MTX overexposure can lead to MTX-AKI and subsequent higher risk of extrakidney toxicities, morbidity, and mortality. MTX-AKI can also lead to secondary CKD requiring a reduced dose or contraindication for subsequent MTX infusions, thus worsening the cancer-related prognosis. Treatment of MTX-AKI is mainly preventive, combining alkaline hyperhydration, withdrawal of all nephrotoxic agents and drugs that modulate the metabolism of MTX, metabolic salvage using leucovorin (folinic acid), and close monitoring of serum MTX and creatinine concentrations. Glucarpidase (carboxypeptidase-G2), a recombinant bacterial enzyme that hydrolyzes MTX into two noncytotoxic metabolites, should be considered for patients with MTX overexposure to prevent and lessen AKI and other potential toxicities. This article provides a comprehensive review of MTX metabolism, mechanisms and prevention of MTX-AKI, and its management.
