Temsirolimus controlled metastatic advanced renal cell carcinoma for over 4 years: a case study.

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.
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 present a case report of long-term response with temsirolimus in cytokine refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 74-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with advanced RCC in November 2007 and enrolled in a phase II study to examine the safety and efficacy of temsirolimus in East Asian patients with metastatic RCC. He achieved a partial response 12 months after starting treatment with temsirolimus followed by stable disease for 39 months. The most notable toxicity was grade 3 pericardial effusion, which gradually increased 2 years after treatment start until discontinuation of the trial resulting in pericardial tamponade, grade 3 hypoxia associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which he had before the trial, and latent interstitial pneumonia. The cease of temsirolimus led to improvement of interstitial pneumonia while the target lesion progressed. He died of progressive COPD and latent interstitial pneumonia 4 months after discontinuing temsirolimus. To our knowledge, he lived the longest in East Asian populations since starting temsirolimus.
