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

Purpose /Objectives Materials/Methods: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried (2004-2017) for patients with RCC who did not have surgical resection but received definitive SBRT. Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank test was used to evaluate overall survival (OS). Univariable (UVA) and multivariable (MVA) analysis were conducted using cox proportional hazard models to determine prognostic factors for OS. Results: A total of 344 patients with median age 77 (IQR 70-85) were included in this study. Median BED Conclusion: Higher BED may be associated with improved OS. Prospective investigation is needed to clearly define optimal BED for SBRT used to treat RCC.
