Chest X-ray in the follow-up of renal cell carcinoma.
Article in World journal of urology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo evaluate the value of chest X-ray in the follow-up of surgically treated T1-3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma.
methodsWe performed retrospective analysis of patients that underwent surgical treatment of a localized renal cell carcinoma (T1-3N0M0) between January 1993 and July 2010. Data on frequency and results of performed chest X-rays were collected from patients' records.
resultsIn 17.5 years, 249 patients with a T1-3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma underwent a radical or partial nephrectomy. In 221 patients, 823 chest X-rays were performed during a median follow-up of 3.3 years (range 0.5-17 years). In 19 patients, a pulmonary recurrence occurred, of which 10 were not detected by the regular follow-up. Of the 9 patients that were diagnosed with a pulmonary recurrence with a chest X-ray during follow-up, 7 were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis, and the chest X-ray has led to the detection; 0.85 % of the performed chest X-rays (7/823) have led to the detection of asymptomatic lung metastases.
conclusionsDue to the low yield of chest X-ray for detection of asymptomatic pulmonary recurrences, it has very low clinical value in the follow-up after nephrectomy for T1-3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma.
