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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of combining cabozantinib, electric fields (EFs; also called Tumor Treating Fields [TTFields]), and radiation in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), focusing on overcoming resistance to conventional monotherapeutic regimens.
methodsHuman renal cancer cell lines (A498, Caki-1) were treated with cabozantinib (10 µM) for at least 6 h, TTFields (200 kHz, 0.8 V/cm) for 24 h, and radiation (3 Gy), both individually and in combination. Cellular responses, including proliferation, apoptosis, and metastatic potential, were analyzed by flow cytometry and Transwell assays.
resultsThe combination of cabozantinib, TTFields, and radiation exhibited synergistic effects, significantly reducing cell proliferation, enhancing apoptosis, and suppressing metastatic capacity compared with individual treatments. Triple therapy resulted in marked inhibition of metastasis-related markers and changes in apoptotic profiles compared with the control group.
conclusionThis multimodal therapy demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing the metastatic potential and prolonging the survival of RCC cells, offering a promising approach to overcoming treatment resistance in patients with metastatic RCC.
