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

objectivesRenal cell carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with a high propensity for both early and metachronous regional and distant metastasis. While surgical resection is the mainstay of therapy for patients with localized disease, the prognosis for patients with distant metastasis is poor with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Response rates to first-line immunotherapy or immunochemotherapy range from 10-35%; responses achieved are predominantly partial remissions of short duration. Until today, there is no standard therapeutic procedure for the growing number of patients who relapse following first-line therapy and desire further active treatment. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis article reviews classic and recent publications about second- and third-line approaches, their potential efficacy and toxicity.

resultsSeveral novel approaches have raised well-founded hope. Especially the application of monoclonal antibodies targeting VEGF signalling as well as different receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors have the potential to change the face of second-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC. Both groups of agents are focused in current phase III trials, either as mono- and/or combination therapy.

conclusionsUntil today, second-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC progressing under therapy with biological response modifiers remains an unresolved issue. The results of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel targeted approaches can be expected with suspense.
