Presurgical avelumab plus axitinib in an immunosenescent octogenarian with renal cell carcinoma invading the vena cava.
Article in Urology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in elderly patients remains challenging due to the scarcity of safety and efficacy data. An 84 year-old female with a right renal cell carcinoma invading the vena cava received two cycles of avelumab plus axitinib. As the thrombus showed a marked reduction, right nephrectomy and vena cava thrombectomy were performed. Pathological examination revealed intra-tumor infiltration of CD8
