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

backgroundKidney cancer is not a homogenous entity; it is comprised of many different tumor types, with different biologies and molecular mechanisms leading to disease and therefore different treatment approaches.

objectiveTo describe the genetic basis and biochemical pathways underlying inherited forms of renal cancer, specifically in four described syndromes (von Hippel-Lindau [VHL], hereditary papillary renal cancer [HPRC], Birt-Hogg-Dubé [BHD] and hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma [HLRCC]), and to elucidate how the understanding of these diseases enables the possibility of disease-specific approaches to therapy.

methodsA systematic review of the published literature on inherited and sporadic forms of renal cancer was performed.

conclusionUnderstanding of the biology and mechanisms of different forms of kidney cancer provides an opportunity for development of new treatment options.
