A Network Meta-Analysis of the Differences in Effectiveness and Safety between Nivolumab and Targeted Drug Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

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
Objective: Nivolumab plus other drugs have provided significant benefits in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), but most of the available comparisons were conducted with sunitinib, and differences in efficacy with targeted drugs were marginally reported. Thus, this study used a network meta-analysis to compare the difference in efficacy between nivolumab combination therapy and other targeted agents. Methods: In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with the time set from database establishment to December 10, 2021, using programmed death factor 1 (PD-1) inhibitors, nivolumab, and sunitinib in the treatment of mRCC. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), and adverse events (AEs) were collated and analyzed using the gemtc package in the R language. Results: A total of ten studies satisfied the inclusion criteria, including 6568 RCC cases, 10 drugs, and 11 treatment protocols. The Ate_Axi protocol obtained similar PFS to the Niv_Cab protocol, which outperformed that of all other protocols. The Niv_Cab regimen showed better PFS benefits than the Niv_Ipi regimen (HR < 1, Conclusion: Among the targeted treatment options for mRCC, both Niv_Cab and Niv_Ipi yield better efficacy and safety in the treatment of mRCC, with Niv_Cab providing more survival benefit but with a less favorable safety profile.
