A Prospective Multicenter Trial of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Neoadjuvant Sunitinib for Inoperable Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Trial report in Journal of Korean medical science, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2-cycled neoadjuvant sunitinib therapy (NST) in patients with inoperable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Between 2009 and 2012, 14 patients with inoperable mRCC from 5 Korean academic centers were prospectively enrolled after collecting their clinicopathological data and completing health-related questionnaires. The best overall response (BOR), safety profile, and changes in quality of life during NST were assessed using the RECIST criteria (version 1.0), CTCAE criteria (version 4.0), and the Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Among the 14 patients, 9 patients (64.3%) experienced partial response or stable disease state, and 5 patients (35.7%) did not complete treatment, with 1 case of disease progression (7.1%), 3 grade 3 adverse events (21.4%), and 1 voluntary withdrawal (7.1%). Four patients (28.6%) were successfully converted to an operable state and underwent surgery after NST. The BOR for the primary renal lesions was 22.2%, with a median 1.3-cm diameter reduction (range: 0-2.8 cm) from a baseline diameter of 10.3 cm (range: 6.6-15.8 cm). The other 18 measurable metastatic lesions exhibited a BOR of 55.6%. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire results revealed significant improvements in the quality of life domain, although we observed significant increases in the scores for fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and the financial effects of NST (P < 0.05). Two-cycle NST provided limited efficacy for resectability of inoperable mRCC, despite mild improvements in the BOR of the primary lesion and quality of life (Clinical Trial Registry 1041140-1).
