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

The last decade has seen a surge in the treatment options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma and life expectancies are now approaching 3 years from diagnosis. There is some suggestion that, for now at least, we may have reached a plateau in efficacy. Patients are often stable and on treatment for years rather than months. Attention has therefore shifted to a focus on patient preference rather than reported frequency of toxicities. The standard first-line treatment for metastatic clear-cell renal cancer is either sunitinib or pazopanib. The COMPARZ trial has shown that sunitinib and pazopanib have similar efficacy. The PISCES trial, with its unique design, has evaluated patient preference between pazopanib and sunitinib. This review explores the factors involved in treatment preference in patients with renal cancer and in particular the choice between pazopanib and sunitinib.
