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

Renal cell carcinoma comprises 2-3% of all adult malignancies and its incidence is increasing. Overall survival of patients with advanced disease has increased over the last decade due to the development of many effective targeted agents. Unfortunately, most patients inevitably develop resistance to these agents. While our understanding of the underlying resistance mechanisms has improved, there remain multiple challenges in order to overcome resistance to targeted agents. Sequential and combination therapy with a variety of novel drugs has been evaluated to maintain ongoing clinical benefit and potentially overcome drug resistance. Retrospective data suggest that further anti-angiogenic therapy may be beneficial in advanced renal cell carcinoma after prior progression on two targeted agents with a similar or different mechanism of action. However, further randomised data are needed to better define the role of these agents beyond second-line therapy in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.
