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

The management of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has changed dramatically over the past few years. Nephrectomy remains an important intervention for localized RCC but systemic therapy is the mainstay of treatment for patients who relapse after surgery or who have metastatic RCC. Before 2005, medical therapies for RCC were limited to cytokine therapies, which are very toxic and benefit only a small percentage of patients. In 2017, therapeutic agents now include kinase and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Contemporary research with these agents is now focusing on combinatorial and perioperative therapy. The field is now faced with the evolving challenge of how to select the best therapy for each patient during their natural history of disease, which has created a strong interest in modern sequencing and molecular approaches to identify biomarkers to personalize treatments. New therapeutic agents and approaches are associated with different toxicities and financial burdens, which require consideration of value by measuring clinical benefit, toxicity, and the cost of each drug with an organized framework. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms underlying RCC and how improved molecular understanding helped the development of therapies, as well as biomarkers of response to treatment. We also discuss the value of these agents and their impact on personalization of therapy and drug development for RCC.
