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

introductionThe development of a second primary malignancy in a patient with a preexisting diagnosis of metastatic cancer may be easily overlooked or misattributed to progression of disease. We report 3 patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastatic to the lungs who were subsequently diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We examined the frequency of this occurrence within our institution and report on the radiographic findings that may help distinguish between metastatic RCC and primary lung cancers.

methodsPatients who received systemic targeted therapy for metastatic RCC at our institution between January 2006 and October 2013 were identified, and the proportion and incidence rate for developing NSCLC with preexisting metastatic RCC were calculated.

resultsTwo percent (3/151; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68%-5.68%) of patients treated for metastatic RCC with systemic targeted therapies at our institution were subsequently diagnosed with NSCLC, increasing to 3.5% (3/85; 95% CI, 1.21%-9.87%) among patients with known RCC pulmonary metastasis. The incident rate for development of NSCLC in patients with metastatic RCC was 0.87 per 100 person-years (95% CI, 0.22-2.4).

conclusionThe subsequent diagnosis of a primary lung cancer in metastatic RCC patients occurred in 2% of patients at our institution and is underreported in the literature. Primary NSCLC may be underdiagnosed in patients with metastatic RCC. Both the radiographic appearance and clinical behavior of a lesion may hold clues that can help distinguish between a new primary and progression of metastatic disease.
