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

Renal cell cancer (RCC) is a highly vascularized and immunogenic tumor type. The inhibition of vessel formation by anti-angiogenic therapies, as well as the stimulation of the immune system by immunotherapy has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of RCC in recent years. Nevertheless, both therapies are associated with therapy resistance due to a highly dynamic, adaptive and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME). The aim of this short review article is to provide an overview of the components of the RCC TME as well as to discuss their contribution to disease progression. In addition, we report on preclinical and clinical findings and how the different TME components can be modulated to impede treatment progression as well as to overcome therapy resistance to anti-angiogenic or immunomodulating therapy concepts. Furthermore, we discuss the predictive and prognostic role of the TME in RCC therapy. We also report on the concept of combinational targeting of anti-angiogenic therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, also including the latest results of clinical studies discussed at recent oncological meetings. Finally, promising new therapeutic targets within the TME are mentioned.
