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

Since the introduction of molecular targeted agents for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC), several treatment outcomes, including those from our facilities, have been reported. However, the outcome of these drugs, classified by the metastatic organs, is not well known. The present study reported the treatment results of molecular-targeted agents as classified by the metastatic organ at Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine. A total of 180 consecutively treated patients who had received molecular targeted agents for metastatic renal cancer for 3 or more months were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival was calculated and compared according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria, the number of metastatic organs, and metastatic lesions. The median overall survival of patients with mRCC treated by molecular targeted agents was 34 months. A significant difference in survival rate between groups was found according to the MSKCC criteria. Patients with single metastatic organ lived significantly longer compared with those with metastases in multiple organs. Patients with pancreatic metastasis had a good response to molecular targeted drugs. Pancreatic metastasis, the number of metastatic organs, and MSKCC criteria were independent risk factors for overall survival. Treatment of mRCC by molecularly targeted agents did not show any difference by metastatic organs except for the pancreas, although its efficacy depends on the number of metastatic organs and the MSKCC classification.
