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

While cancer is a clonal process, cumulative evidence suggest that tumors are rather heterogenous and are composed of multiple genetically-distinct subclones that arise at different times and either persist and co-exist, expand and evolve, or are eliminated. A paradigm of tumor heterogeneity is renal cell carcinoma (RCC). By exploiting morphological traits and building upon a framework around three axes (architecture, cytology and the microenvironment), we review recent advances in our understanding of RCC evolution leading to an integrated molecular genetic and morphologic evolutionary model with both prognostic and therapeutic implications. The ability to predict cancer evolution may have profound implications for clinical care and is central to oncology.
