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

purposeThe aim of this study was to provide some useful insights into the clinical and imaging presentations, treatment and prognostic factors in patients with neurological deficit caused by clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) spinal metastases for the sake of designing individualized therapeutic plans for such patients.

methodsA total of 30 patients with neurological deficit due to CCRCC spinal metastases who received surgery in our department were identified during an 8-year period from 2003 to 2012 and used for discussion of treatment options for CCRCC spinal metastases on the basis of literature review and our own experience.

resultsUnivariate analysis showed that age (≤45 years/>45 years), visceral metastasis, Tomita score (3-5/6-8), Tokuhashi score (4-9/10-12) and radiotherapy were suggested as the potential prognostic factors. However, the multivariate Cox regression model showed that only Tokuhashi score was an independent prognostic factor.

conclusionsTokuhashi score 10 or more is a favorable prognostic factor of CCRCC spinal metastasis.
