Time trends in surgical provision and cancer-specific outcomes in patients with stage T2-3 kidney cancer: a SEER-based study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background and objective: Surgery is the primary therapy that crucially affects the survival of patients with kidney cancer (KC). However, pertinent surgical decision criteria for individuals with stage T2-3 KC are lacking. This study aimed to display the practical choices and evolving trends of surgical procedures and elucidate their implied value. Methods: Through the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset, the levels and evolving trends of different surgical methods were examined to determine cancer-specific risk of death (CSRD). Additionally, stratification analysis and survival rate analysis were performed to explore the effectiveness of partial nephrectomy (PN). Results: In this study, 9.27% of patients opted for PN. Interestingly, an upward trend was observed in its decision, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 7.0 (95% CI: 4.8-9.3, Conclusions: This study showed that RN was still the most common surgical method. Patients with stage T2-3 KC had an increasing preference for PN and exhibited more favorable cancer-related survival outcomes, which underscores the need for further investigation and validation.
