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

<p>Background: At ESMO 2025, practice-changing advances in genitourinary oncology emerged for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), highlighting a shift toward early systemic treatment and biomarker-driven treatment selection. Summary: In localized RCC, the NESCIO trial showed pathologic responses with short-course neoadjuvant checkpoint inhibition, while the RAMPART study supported adjuvant dual checkpoint blockade for high-risk disease. For advanced RCC, the KEYMAKER-U03 trial demonstrated improved progression-free survival with a novel HIF-2α triplet regimen, and the LenCabo study supported the use of lenvatinib plus everolimus in later treatment lines. Conversely, the CALYPSO trial noted limited benefit when using empiric combinations without precise biomarker selection. In cisplatin-ineligible MIBC, the KEYNOTE-905/EV-303 trial demonstrated a significant survival benefit with perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. Finally, emerging data from OPTIC RCC transcriptomic stratification and circulating markers like kidney-injury molecule type 1 and circulating tumor DNA strongly support a broader transition toward tailored therapy. Key Messages: Perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab offers a major survival benefit for cisplatin-ineligible bladder cancer patients. Overall, early-stage RCC benefits significantly from perioperative immunotherapy, while managing advanced disease requires a decisive shift away from empiric combinations and toward biomarker-driven treatment selection. </p>.
