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

Objective: The objective of the study is to describe the perioperative outcomes, disease-specific, and overall survival status in patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus. Patients and Methods: We did a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent radical nephrectomy along with IVC thrombectomy from the year 2013 to 2020. Mayo's classification was used to stratify the level of IVC thrombus. Demographic, perioperative, histopathology data, complications, and survival status were analyzed. Results: Total number of patients included in the study was 39, (Male: Female = 84.6%: 15.4%). Median age of patients was 58 (interquartile range [IQR] 50-63) years. Median size of renal tumor (in cms) was 9.5 (IQR 7.5-12), 8 (IQR 7-11.5), 8.5 (IQR 7-11.75), and 11 (IQR 9.5-11) ( Conclusion: The tumor size does not have an influence on the progression of tumor thrombus into IVC. Significant difference in survival was observed between different levels of thrombus with high mortality in level four tumors.
