Role of radiation therapy for renal tumors.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive malignancy that carries a poor prognosis, especially in patients presenting with advanced stage. Primary treatment for localized RCC is surgical resection however, a significant number of patients still develop locoregional and distant metastasis after curative resection. In metastatic disease, radiation therapy (RT) has been used for palliation routinely for brain and other extracranial lesions with respectable response rates. However, RT for primary RCC has questionable benefit. In this article, the authors discuss the evidence with regards to the role of RT in primary RCC either as a primary treatment, adjuvant treatment, or preoperatively to improve resection outcomes. In addition, novel RT techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy and its use in RCC management are also addressed. Finally, the authors discuss the techniques and doses of RT for primary RCC.
