Long-Term Survival Outcomes of Cytoreductive Nephrectomy Combined with Targeted Therapy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) remains controversial during the targeted therapy era. To reconcile the current literature, we analyzed the reported survival data at the individual patient level and compared the long-term survival outcomes of CN combined with targeted therapy vs. targeted therapy alone in patients with mRCC. We performed a systematic review of the literature using the MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases (end-of-search date: 21 July 2020). We recuperated individual patient data from the Kaplan-Meier curves for overall (OS), progression-free (PFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) from each study. We subsequently performed one-stage frequentist and Bayesian random-effects meta-analyses using both Cox proportional hazards and restricted mean survival time (RMST) models. Two-stage random-effects meta-analyses were also performed as sensitivity analyses. A subgroup analysis was also performed to determine the effect of CN timing. Fifteen studies fulfilling our inclusion criteria were identified, including fourteen retrospective cohort studies and one randomized controlled trial. In the one-stage frequentist meta-analysis, the CN group had superior OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.54-0.62,
