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

Recent years have seen major advances in the management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The tyrosine kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors have resulted in disease control and improved survival for many patients with mRCC, but they have not led to preventive, predictive or personalised medicine (PPPM). Failure to achieve this rests ultimately with inadequate knowledge of tissue and molecular heterogeneity; discovery of these drugs was based upon identification of pathogenic molecular pathways in RCC, but research into molecular factors which underpin drug response, resistance and selection of therapy for individual patients has lagged well behind clinical trials of drug development. This review will provide an overview of the development of targeted drug therapies for mRCC, will discuss the challenges which currently impede the delivery of PPPM, including identification of biomarkers, drug resistance and molecular heterogeneity, and will propose research methodologies and technologies required to overcome these obstacles.
