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

In advanced renal cell carcinoma, few randomized controlled trials involving immunotherapy plus antiangiogenic therapy have shown survival benefits relative to Sunitinib. Our meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined immunotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy compared to Sunitinib therapy alone in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Six phase III randomized controlled trials were analyzed, including 4,119 patients. The primary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival, and the secondary endpoints were objective response rate and serious adverse events. The results showed that combined immunotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy significantly improved overall survival, progression-free survival, and objective response rate compared to Sunitinib alone. No significant difference was observed in adverse events between the two groups. This study suggests that combined immunotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy is a great treatment option for advanced renal cell carcinoma.
