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

Renal capsular invasion (RCI) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) are potential prognostic factors of significance in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We evaluated the independent prognostic implications of RCI and LVI in localized clear cell RCC based on a large multi-institutional cohort. 6, 849 patients who had undergone radical or partial nephrectomy for RCC were included. Associations between recurrence and RCI or LVI were analyzed by constructing statistical models that combined Cox proportional hazard regression and propensity score matching. To analyze RCI, 2, 733 patients including 603 patients with RCI were enrolled. To analyze LVI, 3, 586 patients including 121 patients with LVI were enrolled. Recurrence was observed in 75 (12.4%) patients with RCI and 134 (6.3%) patients without RCI. In all statistical models, RCI was significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrence. Recurrence was observed 29 (24.0%) patients with LVI and 207 (6.0%) patients without LVI. LVI was significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrence only in non-adjusted univariate models, but not in multivariate adjusted analysis or propensity score matching models. In conclusion, these findings suggest that RCI could be a significant risk factor for localized clear cell RCC recurrence. In contrast to RCI, LVI cannot be an independent prognostic variable.
