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

backgroundThe long-term kidney outcomes in paediatric osteosarcoma survivors treated with nephrotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are not well-described.

methodsWe conducted a multi-centre retrospective cohort study and recruited paediatric osteosarcoma survivors who survived beyond 5 years from cancer diagnosis over a 20-year period. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was defined as evidence of kidney impairment, chronic tubulopathy, and proteinuria upon last follow-up.

resultsWe included 89 patients (57% males) with a mean follow-up period of 14.9 years. A total of 42 subjects (47.2%) developed CKD, 28 of whom had CKD stage 1 with either chronic tubulopathy or proteinuria; 14 patients had CKD stage 2 (eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsCKD is prevalent among paediatric osteosarcoma survivors. Caution is needed when using multiple nephrotoxic agents at the same time, as this could increase the risk of CKD in the long run. Multi-disciplinary regular surveillance should be performed to identify and manage CKD early, including kidney function, electrolyte, and proteinuria monitoring.
