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

Germline mutations in Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB), SDHC, and SDHD have been detected in individuals with synchronous or metachronous pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PHEO/PGL) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Most recently, FH and TMEM127 germline mutations, which are known to cause familial PHEO/PGL, have also been identified in familial RCC. We report the first case of an individual with both a PHEO and a multilocular clear cell RCC driven by a novel germline mutation in the TMEM127 gene. Morphologically, both the PHEOs and multilocular RCC were indistinguishable from those associated with VHL disease. However, at the biochemical level, the predominant adrenergic catecholamine profile distinguishes this presentation from SDH- and VHL-related PHEOs. This case justifies the prioritization of genetic testing for germline TMEM127 in individuals with RCC and PHEO with a predominantly adrenergic phenotype.
