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

introductionRenal cell carcinoma has been considered radioresistant. Recently, several studies have reported the efficacy of combination therapy using radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. CASE PRESENTATION: In 1999, a 56-year-old woman underwent left nephrectomy (clear cell carcinoma, pT1bN0M0). Seventeen years postoperatively, recurrence in the left lung hilum was observed. Despite administration of three molecular target drugs, all treatments were terminated due to adverse events. Nivolumab was initiated in December 2016. In August 2017, subcutaneous and lung metastases were observed. Moreover in January 2018, right renal metastasis was noted. After 22 cycles of nivolumab treatment, metastasis in the iliac bone was observed, and the patient was subjected to conventional palliative external beam radiation therapy. Five months after radiotherapy, there was significant reduction in multiple metastases. Here, we reported the case presenting with possible abscopal effect.

conclusionRadiotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors may induce systemic effects against metastatic renal carcinoma.
