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

The Meet-URO score provided a more accurate prognostication than the international metastatic RCC database consortium (IMDC) risk group classification for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) by incorporating the pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the presence of bone metastases in different settings of the disease. To additionally validate the Meet-URO score on overall survival (OS) in a cohort of mRCC patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab plus axitinib, a post hoc analysis of the observational prospective ProPAXI study was conducted. Progression-free survival (PFS) was also considered. Harrell's C-index was used to compare the discriminative ability on OS and PFS. Overall, the ProPAXI study included 170 patients. Both the five- and the three-risk group Meet-URO score were evaluated to account for the small sample size. The five Meet-URO risk group score showed a mOS of 27.1 months (
