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

backgroundNo report has evaluated axitinib-induced proteinuria as a biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy and survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

methodsThe subjects were patients with mRCC treated with axitinib at Kinki University Hospital from February 2008 to November 2014. Clinical records were retrospectively reviewed including baseline patient characteristics, time-dependent changes of urinary protein status, computed tomography scans of metastatic lesions, treatment duration with axitinib, and survival time.

resultsA total of 45 patients were evaluable. Median tumor shrinkage rates were 32.3 and 35.0 % in patients with urinary protein increases ≥+2 and <+2, respectively (p = 0.496). Objective response rates were also similar between the two groups. Median progression-free survival (PFS) times with axitinib were 13.5 months [95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.0-27.5] and 11.0 months (95 % CI 0.0-26.7) in patients with urinary protein increases ≥+2 and <+2, respectively (p = 0.975). The maximum tumor shrinkage rate with axitinib was significantly associated with PFS with axitinib as a result of multivariate analysis (p = 0.002). Median overall survival (OS) times were 39.8 months (95 % CI 12.7-67.0) and 25.4 months (95 % CI 11.2-39.6) in patients with axitinib-induced urinary protein increases ≥+2 and <+2, respectively (p = 0.250). The number of metastatic sites (p = 0.006), the MSKCC risk (p = 0.009), and the maximum tumor shrinkage rate with axitinib (p = 0.019) were significantly associated with OS as a result of multivariate analysis.

conclusionsThe degree of urinary protein increase during axitinib treatment was not associated with objective response, PFS, and OS in mRCC patients treated with axitinib.
