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

Sequential therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors is the mainstay of treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Recently, anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody, a type of immune checkpoint inhibitor, was approved for use against metastatic renal cell carcinoma. In the present report, two cases of TKI-refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma which regained sensitivity to TKI after immunotherapy with nivolumab were described. In one case, a third challenge with axitinib after nivolumab treatment resulted in tumor shrinkage, although the second challenge with axitinib immediately before nivolumab treatment had no effect. In another case, a second challenge with pazopanib after nivolumab slightly reduced lung metastasis, which was refractory to pazopanib before nivolumab treatment. These cases suggest that nivolumab can influence the response to subsequent TKI treatment.
