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

Molecular-targeted therapy was recommended for the systemic therapy of renal cell cancer (RCC) in the RCC guidelines, but these guidelines do not address the order of administration of the multiple presently available agents. There are several aspects that remain unknown regarding the optimal administration order and combination of molecular-targeted drugs. Until the optimal treatment sequence is determined by clinical trials, treatment individualization is required for each patient based on patient and disease characteristics. We herein investigate 12 cases of RCC patients who received axitinib. Axitinib was used as the first-line drug in 4 cases, second-line in 5 cases, third-line in 1 case and as a fourth-line drug in 2 cases. Partial response (PR) was observed in 4 cases (30%) and stable disease in 4 cases (30%) during axitinib treatment, with an overall response rate of 60%. The duration of PR ranged from 6 to 19 months. Based on our cases, axitinib exhibited reasonable therapeutic efficacy as first- as well as second-line treatment. However, more cases are required to draw firm conclusions.
