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

backgroundCollecting duct carcinoma of the kidney is a rare tumour with distinctive clinical and histopathological features. Management of this malignancy remains a challenge because of advanced stage at presentation and aggressive clinical course.

aimsWe describe a case of Collecting Duct Carcinoma with variable immunohistochemistry and review the pathology and management.

resultsOur patient died shortly after commencing systemic chemotherapy.

conclusionAdvances in immunohistochemistry have aided in diagnosis of this tumour. Early detection and nephrectomy offer the best chance of cure. Newer chemotherapeutic regimens may improve survival in more advanced disease.
