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

Renal dysfunction is common in patients with cancer and affects their pharmacokinetics, thereby altering treatment efficacy and safety. This review outlines the principles of dose adjustment based on renal function and highlights specific issues in patients undergoing dialysis or with proteinuria. In patients undergoing dialysis, dose adjustment can be rational if drug properties such as molecular weight and protein binding are considered. Metabolites of some drugs, such as fluorouracil (5-FU), may accumulate in patients with impaired renal function, thereby increasing the risk of toxicity. For oxaliplatin, increased platinum exposure in patients undergoing dialysis does not necessarily increase toxicity, possibly because reactive platinum species are eliminated independent of renal function. Proteinuria can lead to reduced drug exposure to monoclonal antibodies owing to abnormal urinary excretion. The early detection and management of drug-induced kidney injuries are essential. These strategies include identifying risk factors, adjusting doses, and implementing monitoring systems. Protocol-based approaches, such as pharmacist-led monitoring, can improve cancer pharmacotherapy. Automated systems and AI-based models have also been explored for risk prediction. Future studies should focus on deepening our understanding of pharmacokinetics in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those on dialysis. Multidisciplinary collaboration in onco-nephrology is important to improve cancer care in this growing population.
