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

purpose of reviewThe treatment landscape of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) continues to shift as both new targeted therapies and immunotherapies show efficacy in treating the disease. Contemporary insights into the molecular characterization of RCC are likely to fuel the development of additional therapies. This review summarizes recent advancements in the biologic characterization of RCC and discusses newly approved therapies and ongoing studies in the treatment of advanced RCC. RECENT

findingsThe Cancer Genome Atlas has now completed comprehensive molecular characterization of clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe RCC, providing insights into the biology of these entities. Two new 'targeted' therapies, cabozantinib and lenvatinib, as well as a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor, the programed death 1 inhibitor nivolumab, have recently been approved for the treatment of metastatic RCC. Although some of these newer therapies are associated with prolongation of survival, there are few long-term responders and the quest for more durable treatment strategies continues. SUMMARY: The addition of several new agents effective in metastatic RCC has resulted in improvements in overall survival; however, there are few avenues to durable responses or cure. Ongoing studies as well advances in our understanding of the molecular alterations underlying distinct forms of RCC promise further therapeutic advances and have the potential to alter the current treatment paradigm.
