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

Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is a crucial treatment for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). However, a significant proportion of patients experience adverse events (AEs). The identification of biomarkers for AEs is imperative for the detection and treatment of AEs at an early stage. In this exploratory study, we aimed to identify biomarkers of AEs in patients with mUC treated with EV. We retrospectively examined 10 factors identified from the data of 116 patients with mUC treated with EV to identify biomarkers (age, body mass index, C-reactive protein level, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, eosinophil proportion, history of diabetes, lymphocyte proportion, neutrophil proportion, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet count) associated with the occurrence of AEs of any grade. The candidate biomarkers were measured at the start of EV treatment. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to select the most useful parameters for predicting AE occurrence. Among the 10 factors, eosinophil proportion was identified as the only potential biomarker. The optimal cutoff value for eosinophil proportion against the occurrence of AEs of any grade was 2.5% (area under the curve = 0.625). Univariable logistic regression analyses showed that an eosinophil proportion of ≥ 2.5% was a risk factor for AE development (odds ratio = 4.35, 95% confidence interval = 1.35-14.0). Therefore, the results of this exploratory study indicated that an eosinophil proportion of ≥ 2.5% at the start of EV treatment may be a candidate biomarker for the occurrence of AEs of any grade.
