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

purposeWe assessed the accuracy of the UISS (UCLA Integrated Staging System) to predict the postoperative recurrence of renal cell carcinoma. We also evaluated whether including patient age and tumor histology would improve clinical decision making. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed the records of 1,630 patients treated with nephrectomy at a single academic center. The accuracy of the UISS model to predict early (12 months or less) and late (more than 60 months) recurrence after surgery was compared with a new model including patient age and disease histology.

resultsThe new model and the UISS model showed high accuracy to predict early recurrence after surgery (AUC 0.84, 95% CI 0.81-0.88 and 0.83, 95% CI 0.80-0.87, respectively). In patients diagnosed with low risk tumor types (eg papillary type 1 and chromophobe lesions) the average risk of early recurrence significantly decreased in each UISS risk category when tumor histology was added to the predictive model (low risk 1.6% vs 0.6%, intermediate risk 5.5% vs 1.9% and high risk 45% vs 22%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no difference in the risk of late recurrence among the UISS risk categories.

conclusionsThe UISS model should be applied to tailor the early followup protocol after nephrectomy. Patients with low risk histology deserve less stringent followup regardless of the UISS risk category. Our results do not support a risk stratification model to design a surveillance protocol after 5 years postoperatively.
