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

The aim of the present study was to re-evaluate 457 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases from the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer (NLCS), a large population-based cohort, according to the new 2022 ISUP, Genitourinary Pathology Society and World Health Organisation (WHO) classifications to assess whether newly recognized subtypes of RCC could be found among these cases. These cases were initially evaluated according to the 2004 WHO classification, the Fuhrman grading system and the 3rd version of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM). Data on tumor size, laterality and date of diagnosis, among other clinicopathological characteristics, were obtained through record linkage with the Netherlands Cancer Registry and the Pathologisch-Anatomisch Landelijk Geautomatiseerd Archief. Digital slides from the NLCS were reviewed by two urogenital pathologists according to the new ISUP grading and the 2022 WHO classification (5th edition). Immunohistochemistry staining for carbonic anhydrase IX was performed on cases with ambiguous morphology. A total of 373 cases of clear cell RCC (ccRCC), 61 cases of papillary RCC (pRCC), 13 cases of chromophobe RCC, 3 cases of collecting duct carcinoma and 4 cases of oncocytoma were identified. The subtyping showed no discrepancy with the previous diagnoses. A comparison of the WHO/ISUP grading to the original Fuhrman grading showed a similar grading in 245 (56.5%) cases of the total ccRCC and pRCC cases. The staging according to the novel TNM classification 8th edition showed a restaging in 286 cases (65.5%). Lymphovascular (microvascular) invasion (LVI) and tumor necrosis (TN) were present in 14.4% and 33.5% of the total number of cases, respectively. Furthermore, the presence of sarcomatoid differentiation in 5.1% and rhabdoid differentiation in 4.2% of the cases was observed. In conclusion, none of the newly accepted and emerging/provisional RCC entities were identified in the NLCS cases, which could be attributed to the high mean age (71.4 years) at diagnosis of the patients included in the present study. A restaging of the NLCS cases using the TNM 8th edition and regrading using ISUP grading was performed, which showed that it is possible to report on newer features, such as sarcomatoid differentiation and LVI, even in an old sample collection.
