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

objectivesImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combination therapies are first-line treatments for locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, second-line treatment efficacy remains uncertain due to limited large randomized trials. This study evaluated real-world oncological outcomes after second-line treatments in patients who received combination ICIs as first-line treatment.

methodsAmong 467 patients who received ICI combination therapy as first-line treatment for mRCC between January 2018 and January 2024, those who received cabozantinib (Cabo) or axitinib (Axi) as second-line treatment were included in this study. The patient characteristics at the initiation of second-line treatment, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups. Prognostic factors associated with OS after the initiation of second-line treatment were evaluated.

resultsThe Cabo and Axi groups included 87 and 45 patients, respectively. Median OS and PFS after the initiation of secondary treatment were 32 and 9 months in the Cabo group (p = 0.269), and 33 and 12 months in the Axi group (p = 0.399). Multivariable analysis identified serum C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 0.6 mg/dL and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 40 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsOncological outcomes after the initiation of secondary treatment did not differ significantly between the Cabo and Axi groups. An eGFR < 40 mL/min/1.73 m
