Trial report in Nature cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04022343 (A Phase 2 Study of Neoadjuvant Cabozantinib in Patients With Locally Advanced Non-Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Cabozantinib is an oral multikinase inhibitor approved for treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We conducted a phase 2, nonrandomized, single-arm clinical trial (NCT04022343) of cabozantinib treatment for 12 weeks in 17 patients with locally advanced, biopsy-proven, nonmetastatic clear cell RCC before surgical resection. The primary end point was the objective response rate (complete and partial responses) at week 12 and secondary end points included safety, tolerability, clinical and surgical outcomes, and quality of life. Six patients (35%) experienced a partial response and 11 patients (65%) had stable disease. The most common adverse events were diarrhea (n = 12, 70.6%), anorexia, fatigue and hypertension (n = 10, 58.8%), nausea and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (n = 9, 52.9%). No treatment grade 4 or 5 adverse events related to cabozantinib or surgery occurred. The 1-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 82.4% (95% CI 54.7-93.9%) and 94.1% (95% CI 65-99.1%), respectively. Cabozantinib treatment activated CD8
