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

backgroundMesenteric leiomyosarcoma, a rare tumor originating from the smooth muscle of the mesentery, that may require treatment with gemcitabine based chemotherapy in advanced stages. Gemcitabine usage has been associated with the development of thrombotic microangiopathy, a risk which can be increased by concurrent use of sirolimus. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a young Caucasian woman with a renal transplant who developed an aggressive leiomyosarcoma. While on gemcitabine, she was noted to have acute kidney injury. Biopsy of the renal allograft revealed histological findings consistent with thrombotic microangiopathy. Sirolimus was replaced with tacrolimus, and gemcitabine was discontinued. Despite treatment with eculizumab, the allograft function continued to decline, leading to graft failure, and the patient had to be started on renal replacement therapy.

conclusionThis case highlights the possible synergy of gemcitabine and sirolimus in the pathogenesis of de novo thrombotic microangiopathy.
