The Effectiveness of Sorafenib over Other Targeted Agents in the Second-Line Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: a Meta-Analysis.

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.
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
The aim of the study was to perform a meta-analysis to compare the therapeutic effects and adverse events (AEs) of sorafenib in second-line treatments of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). We searched online electronic databases: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library updated on November 2017.Trials of the effectiveness of sorafenib in second-line treatments of advanced RCC were included, of which the main outcomes were objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and grade 3/4 AE. Other TAs significantly reduced the risk of PFS compared to sorafenib with respect to second-line treatment (HR = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.65-0.83; p < 0.00001). No significant differences were, however, found in patients in terms of the ORR (HR = 1.82; 95% CI, 0.98-3.35; p = 0.06). Frequencies of the most common toxicities were overall similar and adverse events differed only in sensitivity analysis in rash with exclusion of other TAs (HR = 0.16; 95% CI, 0.05-0.52; p = 0.002). Overall survival was not debated between groups. In patients with mRCC, second-line sorafenib is associated with similar ORR as other target agents. While, sorafenib did not demonstrate a PFS advantage compared with other target agents, suggests sorafenib may not benefit patients with mRCC. Tolerability due to toxicities is similar compared sorafenib with other target agents. Further characterization of the RCC oncogenic pathway, and the ongoing clinical trials should help optimize the treatment option for second-line therapy of advanced renal cell carcinoma.
