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 relationship between thromboembolic events (TEs) and immune-oncology (IO) agents in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with inferior-vena-cava (IVC) thrombus has not been explored despite conferring significant morbidity. A late 30s female is diagnosed with mRCC with a level-II IVC thrombus after presenting with back pain. Two weeks post initiation of immunotherapy, she re-presented with bilateral sub-massive pulmonary emboli requiring IVC and pulmonary thrombectomy. This case exposes a potential relationship between mRCC and IVC thrombus with IO agents that creates a critically hypercoagulable state. This issue requires further investigation given the apparent under-reporting of TEs in these patients.
