Incidence and prevalence of organ toxicities in patients suffering from clear cell renal carcinoma treated with sunitinib and its impact on survival: a reference cancer center experience.

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
Introduction: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard treatment options for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but their toxicities can hinder optimal dosing, affecting clinical outcomes. Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of 96 patients treated with first-line line sunitinib at the National Research Institute of Oncology, Branch Kraków, Poland was conducted to assess the incidence and prevalence of organ toxicities in ccRCC and their impact on overall survival (OS). Results: The study included 96 patients. The median number of treatment cycles was 11 (IQR: 19), and the median duration was 63 weeks (IQR: 95). The most common toxicities were gastrointestinal (76.0%), fatigue (61.5%), and cardiovascular (49.0%), with 81.3% of patients experiencing multi-organ toxicity. Dose delays occurred in 37 patients (38.5%), mainly due to gastrointestinal (38.5%) and cardiovascular toxicity (21.9%). Dose reductions were required in 64 patients (66.7%), primarily for gastrointestinal (39.6%) and cardiovascular (16.7%) complications. Cardiotoxicity (p=0.017) correlated with improved OS. No OS differences were observed in enterotoxicity, hematologic, endocrine, dermatologic, or renal toxicity. Patients requiring dose reduction due to cardiotoxicity (p=0.012), hematologic toxicity (p=0.004) or gastrointestinal toxicity (p=0.004) had better survival than those without modifications. Patients requiring dose reduction due to any cause had better OS than those maintaining the initial dose. The timing or frequency of dose reductions had no significant impact. Conclusions: Cardiotoxicity, gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicities requiring dose reduction were associated with improved survival, suggesting these toxicities may reflect treatment efficacy. The findings emphasize the need to balance toxicity and treatment continuity.
