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

backgroundIn patients with isolated meta- or synchronous pulmonary metastases from renal cell cancer, lung metastasectomy could be an appropriate treatment option after successful treatment of primary cancer.

objectivesPresentation of lung metastasectomy as a treatment option in patients with pulmonary metastatic renal cell cancer and the postoperative outcome. Description of alternative treatment modalities focusing on "targeted therapies". MATERIALS AND

methodsSystematical literature research and qualitative analysis of studies on patients undergoing lung metastasectomy after primary nephrectomy published since 01 January 2000. We assessed operative findings, survival data, and prognostic factors.

resultsPulmonary metastasectomy results in a median postmetastasectomy survival of 26-94 months. The 5‑year survival rates vary between 33 and 58%. The patients' prognosis depends on a prolonged disease-free interval and complete resection of all suspected metastases. In particular, number and location of lung metastases should play a minor role for the indication for lung metastasectomy.

conclusionsPulmonary metastasectomy should be considered the treatment of choice in selected patients with successfully resected primary cancer showing no evidence of extrapulmonary metastases and having guaranteed operability and complete resection.
