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

backgroundTo evaluate and compare the natural history and growth kinetics of sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with those of ccRCC in von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL).

methodsSixty patients in the sporadic group with 61 tumors and 15 patients in the VHL group with 30 tumors whom all underwent delayed surgery after at least 12 months of active surveillance (AS) were enrolled to conduct a retrospective cohort study. The growth rate was calculated, and the growth kinetics between the sporadic and VHL groups were compared. The patient and tumor characteristics were reviewed, and their correlation with growth rate was analyzed.

resultsThe mean growth rate of sporadic ccRCC was 0.91 cm/year (ranging from 0-4.74 cm/year) and that of VHL ccRCC was 0.47 cm/year (ranging from 0.04-1.89 cm/year). The growth rate of sporadic ccRCC showed a tendency of being faster than that of VHL ccRCC but did not reach statistical significance (P=0.07). The factors affecting the growth rate were different between the two groups. For VHL ccRCC, the only factor that correlated with growth rate was initial tumor diameter (P<0.001), but for sporadic ccRCC, the only factor was pathological nuclear grade (P<0.001).

conclusionsThe growth rate of VHL-associated ccRCC might be slower than that of sporadic ccRCC. Furthermore, we identified a disparity in growth kinetics between sporadic and VHL-associated ccRCC.
