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.

Abstract

backgroundCombination treatment with anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors has demonstrated significant efficacy in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, data on treatment-emergent renal injury during combination therapy and its prognostic implications remain limited. This study analyzed renal injury and its association with survival outcomes in patients with advanced RCC receiving first-line benmelstobart combined with anlotinib in the ETER100 trial.

methodsAll randomized patients in the ETER100 (NCT04523272) trial treated with at least one dose of study treatment were included in this analysis. Baseline characteristics, laboratory test results, and information on objective responses, disease progression, and death events were collected. The primary outcomes of this study included renal function changes during therapy, risk factors for renal function abnormalities, clinical outcomes of patients with renal function abnormalities, and the association between renal function abnormalities and survival outcomes.

resultsCompared with sunitinib monotherapy, patients receiving benmelstobart combined with anlotinib showed no significant differences in the incidence of serum creatinine elevation (p = 0.0538), percentage decrease in creatinine clearance (p = 0.2546), absolute decrease in creatinine clearance (p = 0.7343), or proteinuria (p = 0.0728). Multivariate analysis identified a history of nephrectomy and estimated glomerular filtration rate <90 mL/min/1.73 m² as independent predictors of serum creatinine elevation in patients receiving combination therapy. As of January 2024, 64.00% of patients (64/100) who developed serum creatinine elevation during combination therapy had recovered to normal levels, and 6.00% (6/100) showed improvement. Besides, 45.56% of patients (77/169) who had proteinuria recovered to normal, and 22.49% (38/169) experienced improvement. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that both serum creatinine elevation (progression-free survival [PFS]: p = 0.3526; overall survival [OS]: p = 0.0521) and proteinuria (PFS: p = 0.5831; OS: p = 0.1224) were not independent risk factors for progression-free survival or overall survival in patients receiving combination therapy.

conclusionsFor patients with advanced RCC in the ETER100 trial, combination therapy with anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors did not increase the risk of renal injury, and in this treatment context, renal function abnormalities occurring during treatment were not significantly associated with survival outcomes.
