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 reviewThere is increasing incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with multiple treatment options currently available. The purpose of this review is to outline patient selection and technical approaches and present the current literature for percutaneous ablation of T1b (4.1-7 cm) RCC. RECENT

findingsAn increasing number of retrospective studies and meta-analyses have evaluated the use of percutaneous ablation for T1b RCC. Overall, these studies tend to show that percutaneous ablation in this patient population is feasible. However, rates of major adverse events and local recurrence after percutaneous ablation for T1b RCC are both higher than when ablation is used for smaller tumors. As such, a multi-disciplinary, patient-centered approach is required. Due to the increasing literature in this area, the most recent National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines include percutaneous ablation as an option for non-surgical patients with T1b RCC.
