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

introductionNivolumab is effective for advanced renal cell carcinoma; however, reports are limited wherein nivolumab is combined with sequential therapy of angiogenesis inhibitors and metastasectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old man was diagnosed with left renal cell carcinoma of cT2aN0M1 with lung metastasis. The patient underwent nephrectomy and sequential therapy with interferon-α and angiogenesis inhibitors. Lung metastasis decreased by angiogenesis inhibitors, but new right adrenal gland metastasis appeared. Nivolumab as the fifth systemic therapy remarkably shrank the metastasis. After discontinuing nivolumab therapy, the metastasis continued to shrink. The patient underwent adrenalectomy, and pathological analysis revealed no remnant cancer cells in the specimen, confirming a pathological complete response. Twenty months postoperatively, he remains in good health without recurrence.

conclusionWe report a rare case with renal cell carcinoma of a pathological complete response by nivolumab after angiogenesis inhibitors.
