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

BACKGROUND/

aimPrevious research has suggested that patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) and bone metastases have a poorer prognosis compared to their counterparts with no skeletal involvement. Therefore, we analyzed the management and outcomes of such patients in our center. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective study of 35 consecutive patients who received systemic treatment, largely targeted therapy, for mRCC with bone metastases.

resultsThe median overall survival was 25 months from the time of diagnosis of mRCC. The 5-year survival rate was 16%. Survival from diagnosis of mRCC was significantly worse in patients with bone metastases present at the start of first-line systemic therapy (median 13 months) compared to delayed metastases diagnosed later during the course of disease (46 months, p=0.01). Few patients (29%) were able to receive more than two lines of systemic therapy. Bone-only metastases were uncommon (11%).

conclusionMost patients with mRCC and bone metastases have limited overall survival.
