The effect of renal function change on renal cell carcinoma patients with tumor thrombus after nephrectomy and thrombectomy: a large Chinese center experience.
Article in BMC cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo explore the influencing factors of perioperative renal function change and their relationship with prognosis on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with tumor thrombus after nephrectomy and thrombectomy.
methodsThe clinical and pathological data of 135 patients with RCC and tumor thrombus, who underwent nephrectomy and thrombectomy at Peking University Third Hospital from May 2015 to July 2018, was retrospectively analyzed. Absolute change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (ACE) and percent change in eGFR (PCE) were calculated by preoperative and postoperative renal function. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of ACE and PCE, and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of worse postoperative renal function [eGFR≤60 mL/(min × 1.73 m^2)]. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression, which were used to explore the effect of ACE and PCE on prognosis.
resultsOf all the 135 patients, 101 patients (74.8%) were male and 34 patients (25.2%) were female. The mean preoperative eGFR was 73.9 ± 21.8 mL/(min × 1.73 m^2) and postoperative eGFR was 69.5 ± 25.2 mL/(min × 1.73 m^2). In multivariate linear regression analysis, preoperative eGFR (P < 0.001) and pathological type (P = 0.038) were significant predictive factors of ACE. In aspect of PCE, preoperative eGFR (P < 0.001) and pathological type (P = 0.002) were significant predictors. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, preoperative eGFR (P = 0.016) was the only risk factor of predicting worse postoperative renal function. During follow-up, 22 patients (16.3%) were dead due to RCC. According to ROC analysis, the cut off value of ACE and PCE was 13.9 and 0.16, respectively. ACE> 13.9 and PCE > 0.16 indicated worse CSS (P = 0.006 and P = 0.047, respectively). However, in multivariate Cox regression analysis of several related factors, perinephric tissues invasion (P = 0.001), sarcomatoid differentiation (P = 0.001) and ACE> 13.9 (P = 0.002) were significant prognostic factors for CSS. PCE > 0.16 seemed to be not (P = 0.055).
conclusionWe explored several clinicopathological risk factors of predicting renal function change and their relationship with prognosis of RCC patients with tumor thrombus after nephrectomy and thrombectomy. The renal function change, which was associated with preoperative eGFR and pathological type, was prognostic risk factor for CSS and ACE> 13.9 indicated the worse prognosis.
