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

purposeWe previously developed and validated a 15-gene prognostic signature (15G score) in localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Given its ability to differentiate aggressive and indolent disease, we sought to apply the 15G score to patients with metastatic ccRCC to evaluate its prognostic performance in this setting.

methodsWe analyzed 2,121 patients from four major metastatic ccRCC trial data sets: IMmotion 151 (

resultsA high 15G score was associated with significantly worse PFS in four of the six treatment groups: atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, sunitinib, atezolizumab, and everolimus (hazard ratios [HRs], 1.7 [95% CI, 1.4 to 2.2], 1.7 [1.4-2.0] 2.8, [95% CI, 1.6 to 4.9], and 1.5 [95% CI, 1.1 to 2.2], respectively; all

conclusionThe 15G score was independently prognostic in metastatic ccRCC among patients receiving different systemic therapy regimens.
