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

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) are a class of targeted anticancer agents that include pazopanib, sunitinib, axitinib, and others. Currently, VEGFR-TKIs are widely used in the clinical treatment of various tumors, which can prolong patients' survival and even cure tumors. However, the use of VEGFR-TKIs is frequently associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events, with hypertension being the most prevalent. Hypertension and its complications can significantly impact the prognosis of patients, potentially jeopardizing their lives and resulting in the reduction or even cessation of treatment in severe cases. This review addresses the incidence of hypertension due to VEGFR-TKIs, mechanisms of toxicity, management strategies, and future research directions. In addition, hypertension due to VEGFR-TKIs may be associated with salt sensitivity, and possible mechanisms of hypertensive side effects are vasodilator imbalance, decreased capillary density, renal injury, impaired endothelial function due to oxidative stress, decreased lymphatic vascular density, and "off-target effect". A comprehensive understanding of hypertension toxicity due to cancer treatment with VEGFR-TKIs, can enhance clinical practice, thereby improving the prognostic outcomes of VEGFR-TKIs in oncology patients.
