Clinical outcomes of metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a real-world single-centre experience.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIn the current study, we aimed to characterize the clinicopathological features of metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) using retrospective data from our centre and to assess the clinical outcomes of patients treated with first-line immunotherapy-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (IO-TKI) therapy versus TKI monotherapy.
methodsWe conducted retrospective analysis of 105 metastatic nccRCC patients at our centre from Jan 2006 to Oct 2022. The end points included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier curve and multivariate Cox regression model.
resultsAmong metastatic nccRCC patients, the most prevalent histology was papillary RCC (39.0%). The most common distant metastasis site was lung metastasis (52.4%), followed by bone metastasis (33.3%). The proportion of the favourable, intermediate and poor IMDC risk group were 19.0%, 54.3% and 26.7%, respectively. Among metastatic nccRCC patients, 26 received first-line IO-TKI therapy and 79 received first-line TKI monotherapy therapy. During the median follow-up of 22.2 months, the 1-year PFS and 3-year OS of IO-TKI group was 46.2% and 48.0%, respectively. In comparison, the 1-year PFS and 3-year OS of TKI monotherapy group was 34.9% and 33.7%, respectively. According to the Cox regression model, unclassified RCC pathology (HR = 2.027,
conclusionFor metastatic nccRCC, unclassified RCC pathology and poor IMDC risk group were identified as independent risk factors for poor prognosis and IO-TKI showed promising efficacy in patients with metastatic nccRCC.
