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

purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in patients with stage 4 or 5 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective multicenter study included patients with maximum tumor diameter ≤ 4 cm, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min/1.73 m

resultsOf 541 patients who underwent renal tumor cryoablation, 17 (3.1%; 4 women, 13 men; mean age 70.1 ± 10.6 years) with stage 4 or 5 non-dialysis CKD were included in this study. The pre-cryoablation eGFR was 22.5 ± 6.3 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionCryoablation of RCC is safe in patients with stage 4 or 5 non-dialysis CKD and yields treatment results comparable to those in patients without CKD. This treatment could be completed without the early initiation of hemodialysis after the procedure.
