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

We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of patients with metastatic gastric tumors arising from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to identify post-therapy prognostic factors. A total of 22 patients who were treated for metastatic gastric tumors arising from RCC were included in the study. A retrospective review was performed on the clinical characteristics of this disease. The median time interval from radical excision of the primary tumor to the detection of gastric metastasis (IGM) was 6.3 years. The overall 1- and 3-year survival rates were 52.6 and 21.0%, respectively, and the median survival time was 19 months. Compared with patients with an IGM of <6.3 years, patients with an IGM of ≥6.3 years showed a significantly longer median survival time (5 vs. 24 months; P=0.017). The median tumor size was significantly greater in patients with multiple metastases compared with those with solitary metastasis (4 vs. 2 cm; P=0.036). The incidence of patients who had undergone therapeutic tumor resection was significantly higher in patients with solitary metastasis compared with those with multiple metastases (100.0 vs. 35.7%; P=0.019). The appearance of gastric tumors in patients with a history of RCC should prompt the clinician to investigate the possibility of metastasis even several years after detection of the original renal cancer. A longer interval from nephrectomy to the diagnosis of gastric metastasis is generally indicative of a better prognosis, most likely the result of less aggressive tumor growth.
