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

Renal cell carcinoma is a common type of cancer, with approximately 30% of patients potentially developing metastatic disease. Some patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma are found in advanced stages, so the 5-year survival rate for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is only 14%. Currently, there are several drugs available for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and their overall survival can be extended to nearly 5 years. However, the sensitivity and efficacy of the treatment are still unsatisfactory. New targets and drugs to improve patient prognosis are urgently needed, but these are closely linked to the molecular mechanisms of renal cell carcinoma metastasis. In this review, we present the definition and common molecular mechanisms of metastatic renal cell carcinoma and provide new insights on their potential link to targeted therapies, which may enlighten scientists to develop future targeted therapeutic agents to improve the prognosis of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
