Urinary collecting system invasion reflects adverse long-term outcome and is associated with simultaneous metastatic spread at the time of surgery and with multilocular dissemination during postsurgical follow-up in renal cell cancer.
Article in World journal of urology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess the prognostic implication of urinary collecting system invasion (CSI) in renal cell cancer (RCC).
methodsSurveying a mean follow-up of 85 months, we investigated a cohort of 834 patients after radical (n = 710) or partial (n = 124) nephrectomy. At the time of surgery, 63 patients (7.6%) suffered from metastatic RCC. Various histopathologic parameters were analysed, and cancer specific survival (CSS) curves were individualized for each parameter. Furthermore, multivariate analysis was accomplished.
resultsCollecting system invasion was independently associated with a significant decline in CSS and was associated with simultaneous metastatic spread at the time of surgery and multilocular (involvement of at least two different organ systems) dissemination.
conclusionsThe prognostic implication of CSI in RCC appears to be more complex than expected. Therefore, pathologists should report on CSI to enable selection of patients to be investigated in prospective studies which are needed to clarify the prognostic role of CSI in RCC.
