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

introductionBaltic States including Latvia are reported as having one of the highest renal cell carcinoma (RCC) incidence and mortality rates in the world. However, data are often presented without stage-specific stratification, making assessment of the overall RCC diagnosis and survival trends challenging. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe collected data on all newly diagnosed RCC patients from the national population-based cancer registry between 1997 and 2016. We analyzed RCC incidence, mortality and survival trends using Joinpoint analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for 5- and 10-year cancer specific survival rate calculations.

resultsThere were a total of 7893 patients with newly diagnosed RCC. The age standardized (AS) incidence rate (per 100,000) increased slightly from 8.9 in 1997 to 9.8 in 2016. There were no specific changes in the incidence rate trend. Detection of early stage RCC increased by 5.4% annually. The AS mortality rates (per 100,000) decreased from 4.9 in 1997 to 3.9 in 2016, however, it did not reach a statistically significant change. The mortality rates decreased significantly in females and in the age group of 60-69 years. The 5-year cancer specific survival (CSS) rate increased from 55.1% in 1997-2001 to 66.6% in years 2007-2011. The 10-year CSS rate increased from 49.1% in 1997-2001 to 56.5% in years 2002-2006.

conclusionsDuring the study period, RCC incidence rates increased and overall mortality rates did not change. Similar to the rest of the world, the incidence of RCC diagnosed at an earlier stage increased and 5- and 10-year survival rates improved.
