Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

opinion statementWith no therapy specifically approved for non-clear cell cancers of the kidney, this disease remains an orphan site. Clear cell renal cancers (ccRCC) have seen a flurry of activity with multiple agents gaining Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in recent years. Simultaneously, non-clear cell RCC (ncRCC) have also seen a fair share of activity and exploration of new agents in development but no specific FDA approvals. Non-clear cell RCC is a mixed bag of multiple types of tumors originating in the kidney with distinct clinical molecular and genetic characteristics that vary significantly from clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. Conventionally, non-clear cell RCC have been treated with the same therapies as clear cell RCC. The clinical trials are typically conducted in ccRCC and the FDA approval covers non-clear cell cancer as well. Few randomized clinical trials have been conducted specifically for ncRCC. With the advent of molecular and tumor genomic testing, leading to discovery of targets and associated therapies for ncRCC, a specific review of the state of management of this disease is timely and clinically relevant.
