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 (RCC) represents the sixth-leading cancer-specific cause of death worldwide. This is mainly caused by metastatic or locally advanced RCC. Approximately 25-30% of patients present with metastasis during the initial diagnosis. Furthermore, 20-30% of patients develop metastatic disease following initial curative surgery. Metastatic RCC is characterized by a poor prognosis with a median overall survival of less than 2 years. Today, targeted therapies such as VEGF receptor inhibitors and antagonists as well as mTOR inhibitors represent the standard of care in metastatic RCC. Conventional chemotherapies or cytokine-based medications have been abandoned due to inferior clinical efficacy compared with targeted therapies. In Germany, sunitinib, pazopanib, temsirolimus, and bevacizumab have been approved for first-line treatment and sorafenib, axitinib, and everolimus for second-line treatment. Prognostic models, assessing individual risk profiles, have been developed in the last 15 years, which are crucial for the design of trials, patient counseling, and initiation of goal-directed therapies.
