Eosinophils as a predictive marker of treatment-related adverse events in mRCC patients treated with first-line immune-checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a key component of first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, predicting treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) remains challenging. This study investigated the utility of eosinophil-related biomarkers as predictors of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3 TRAEs in mRCC patients undergoing ICI combination therapy. In this retrospective analysis across 21 hospitals in Japan, we examined 180 patients treated with ICI/ICI therapy and 216 patients treated with ICI/tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 39.4% and 31.9% of patients in the ICI/ICI and ICI/TKI groups, respectively. An elevated eosinophil proportion of ≥ 2.0% (odds ratio [OR]: 2.36; 95% CI [confidence interval] 1.23-4.54, p = 0.01) and a low neutrophil/eosinophil ratio (NER) of ≤ 40.0 (OR: 2.78, 95% CI 1.39-5.53, p = 0.004) were significant predictors of severe TRAEs in the ICI/ICI group. However, no significant associations were found in the ICI/TKI group. These findings may help identify patients who suffer from grade ≥ 3 TRAEs and help determine individualized treatment strategies in patients with mRCC.
