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

backgroundFew reports have focused on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the people with HIV(PWH).

methodsWe analyzed patients diagnosed with RCC at our center between January 2011 and June 2024, divided into groups based on their HIV status. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test, and continuous variables were analyzed with the t-test. We estimated median and 1-, 3-, and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) using Kaplan-Meier curves and conducted univariate and multivariate Cox analyses to evaluate variables associated with CSS.

resultsIn total, 144 RCC patients were assigned to either PWH group (n = 48) or PWoH (people without HIV) group (n = 96). Patients in the PWH group were significantly more likely to be male (91.7% vs. 71.8%, p = 0.014), and their median age was 7 years younger than that in the PWoH group (51 vs. 58 years, p < 0.01). Both groups had small-diameter, early-stage, low-grade tumors, with no significant differences in short-term outcomes. Higher tumor stage (> T1 vs. T1: hazard ratio = 8.621, 95% confidence interval = 3.76-20, p < 0.01) and larger tumor diameter (≥ 7 vs. <7 cm: hazard ratio = 3.525, 95% confidence interval = 1.697-7.321, p < 0.01) were significantly associated with CSS, whereas the HIV status did not significantly affect long-term survival.

conclusionsRCC tends to be diagnosed at a younger age in PWH, highlighting the need for earlier RCC screening in this population. The HIV status does not affect postoperative recovery, short-term outcomes, or long-term survival in patients with RCC.
