A Prospective Comparison of Azilsartan and Amlodipine for Bevacizumab-induced Hypertension and Proteinuria in Colorectal Cancer.
Trial report in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimBevacizumab (Bev) often induces hypertension and proteinuria. Optimal antihypertensive management in this setting remains unclear, and studies comparing angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are limited. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of the ARB azilsartan and the CCB amlodipine on hypertension and proteinuria. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with demonstrated systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) ≥140/90 mmHg during Bev therapy for colorectal cancer were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the azilsartan group or the amlodipine group and were followed up for 18 weeks. The primary outcome was urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR). Secondary outcomes included BP changes and achievement of target BP (<140/90 mmHg). After week six, the attending physician adjusted the antihypertensive medication as needed.
resultsThirty patients were enrolled, and 26 (13 per group) completed 18 weeks of treatment. Mean baseline SBP was 156.8±9.2 mmHg in the azilsartan group and 158.0±9.4 mmHg in the amlodipine group. At week six, SBP decreased to 151.4±21.9 mmHg and 144.5±15.2 mmHg, respectively, with a significant reduction in the amlodipine group. At week 18, SBP was 136.5±12.9 mmHg
conclusionThese findings emphasize that adequate BP control, rather than antihypertensive class, may be critical in managing Bev-induced proteinuria.
