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 present study aimed to clarify the relationship between the therapeutic outcome of combination regimens, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and/or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The present study retrospectively assessed the association between treatment efficacy and prognosis with or without CN, and the timing of CN in 151 patients treated with combination regimens for mRCC who were categorized as intermediate/poor risk. The first-line regimens included the ICI-ICI and ICI-TKI regimens in 98 and 53 cases, respectively. In patients with recurrence after radical surgery (n=66), the 50% PFS times of the ICI-ICI and the ICI-TKI groups were 33.6 months and not reached (NR) (P=0.4032), respectively, and the 50% OS times were 53.7 months and NR (P=0.6886), respectively. Among the 38 patients with metastasis from the initial diagnosis who underwent upfront CN, the 50% PFS times of the ICI-ICI and the ICI-TKI groups were 10.5 and 8.2 months (P=0.5806), respectively, and the 50% OS times were NR and 15.8 months (P=0.0587), respectively. Among the 51 patients who did not receive upfront CN, the 50% PFS time of the ICI-TKI group was significantly higher than that in the ICI-ICI group (4.1 months and NR, respectively; P=0.0210), and the 50% OS times were 29.8 months and NR (P=0.7343), respectively. In conclusion, according to the analysis of real-world data, good therapeutic efficacy can be achieved with any regimen in patients with recurrence after radical surgery. In addition, improved results could be achieved through treatment with ICI-TKI in patients without upfront CN.
