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

We encountered a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in which the serum level of KL-6, a therapeutic marker, was exceptionally high and fluctuated with the progression of treatment. A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with right renal cystic cancer and multiple metastases in October 2022. The KL-6 level was 27490 U/mL. He started treatment with lenvatinib and pembrolizumab. KL-6 decreased to 3885 U/mg in February 2023. The patient's proteinuria worsened, leading to the discontinuation of lenvatinib. KL-6 increased to 25950 U/mL in April. He discontinued pembrolizumab and started taking cabozantinib. In September, drug-induced bilateral inflammatory pneumonitis developed. He discontinued cabozantinb and began taking axitinib. KL-6 decreased; however, he suffered from severe diarrhea and subsequent renal insufficiency. He discontinued axitinib in November. KL-6 increased to 29640 U/mL in December.
