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

BACKGROUND/

aimSinonasal metastases arising from renal cell cancer are rare and usually managed with surgery. Few studies describe the use of radiotherapy in this specific setting, while the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been rarely reported as well. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a solitary left sinonasal metastasis in a 65-year-old man with clear cell renal cancer who also received bilateral nephrectomy and subsequent kidney transplantation. The patient received subtotal surgery and subsequently he was candidate to SBRT to avoid systemic treatment, due to renal comorbidities.

conclusionThe patient was treated with SBRT for a total dose of 35 Gy in 5 fractions and after 24 months of follow-up there is no evidence of local relapse. No major side-effects were reported. Our experience supports SBRT as a safe and feasible treatment option in the case of sinonasal metastases from RCC.
