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 combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has improved clinical outcomes in advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC), though therapeutic resistance remains a major challenge. We conducted single-cell transcriptomic analysis on 61 tumor samples from 34 aRCC patients treated with TKIs alone or in combination with ICIs. Non-responders exhibited increased neutrophil infiltration and enrichment of SAA
