The Therapeutic Landscape of Renal Cell Carcinoma: From the Dark Age to the Golden Age.
Review in Seminars in nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Oncologic treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have undergone a major revolution in the past 2 decades, moving away from the pre-2004 Dark Age during which interleukin 2 and interferon-α were the only therapeutic options and induced treatment responses in only 5% to 10% of patients with metastatic disease. The development of anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 in 2005 introduced the Modern Age with better overall and progression-free survival and a greater number of patients (30%-40%) responding to and (∼80%) benefiting from these targeted therapeutic agents. The coming of age of the immuno-oncology era with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have ushered us into the Golden Age of metastatic RCC care, in which combined administrations of two ICIs (anti-programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 or one tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus one ICI (anti-programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1) have recast the treatment landscape of clear cell RCC, the most common RCC subtype, with an approximately 60% response rate and an approximately 90% disease control rate that further improves metastatic RCC survival. Exciting clinical trials are in the pipeline investigating complementary/synergistic molecular mechanisms, based on studies investigating the biology, pathology, and genomics of renal carcinoma and the respective treatment outcome. This will enable us to enter the Diamond Age of precision medicine in which a specific treatment can be tailored to the specific biological and pathologic circumstance of an individual kidney tumor to offer more effective yet less toxic therapy.
