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 of reviewTo review the current status of kidney tumor ablation in patients with substantial kidney impairment. RECENT

findingsFew reports of kidney tumor ablation in such patients have recently been published. The reported prevalence of patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients undergoing ablation is 2.0%-10%. In patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD, local tumor control rates were 88%-100%. The effect of ablation on CKD stage is unclear, and the observed deteriorations in kidney function are consistent with both the effect of cryoablation and the natural course of advanced CKD. According to guidelines, active surveillance may be selected. The goals of treatment are complete tumor removal and maintenance of kidney function, both of which can be met by ablation. Given the limited treatment options, ablation may play a pivotal role in the management of patients with advanced CKD.
