Interval Between Cancer Diagnosis and Radiotherapy - An Independent Prognostic Factor of Survival in Patients Irradiated for Bone Metastases from Kidney Cancer.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimCancer patients with metastatic disease require personalized treatment regimens. This study was performed to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) following irradiation of bone metastases from kidney cancer. PATIENTS AND
methodsData of 29 patients irradiated for bone metastases from kidney cancer were retrospectively evaluated. Ten factors were analyzed, including age, gender, performance score, interval from diagnosis of kidney cancer until radiotherapy for bone metastases, visceral metastases, other bone metastases, metastatic sites, number of irradiated sites, surgery of irradiated sites and systemic treatment prior to radiotherapy.
resultsUsing univariate analyses, a longer interval from diagnosis of kidney cancer radiotherapy was associated with better OS (p=0.012). Using Cox regression analysis, this factor remained significant (risk ratio=3.54, p=0.012).
conclusionThe interval from diagnosis of kidney cancer until radiotherapy is an independent prognostic factor associated with OS following irradiation of bone metastases from kidney cancer. This type of data can help personalize radiation programs.
