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

backgroundThis study assesses the clinical safety and efficacy of Gemcitabine and S-1 combination chemotherapy in sorafenib-refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.

methodsThe baseline characteristics and survival outcomes of 19 patients suffering from metastatic and progressive sorafenib-refractory RCC were retrospectively collected and analyzed from January 2010 to April 2014. Patients were treated by combining Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m

resultsAfter combination chemotherapy, the disease control rate was 68.4%. Among them, 6 patients (31.6%) had progressive disease (PD), 5 patients (26.3%) had stable disease (SD) and 8 patients (42.1%) had partial response (PR). The median time to progression (TTP) was 6.3 months (range, 2.0-32.7 months), and the median overall survival (OS) was 19.7 months (range, 5.7-45.0 months). In the survival analysis, comparing PD group, disease control (PR + SD) group showed an obviously longer TTP (median TTP: 9.5

conclusionsThe combination chemotherapy could be a promising treatment option for advanced metastatic RCC (mRCC) patients after sorafenib refractory.
