CT-imaging features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to describe the computed tomography (CT)-imaging features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipomas (E-AMLs) to understand and recognize this new category of renal tumors.
methodsInstitutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study. Clinical data and preoperative CT images of 11 cases of E-AML were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had unenhanced and tri-phase dynamic enhanced CT examination. CT-imaging features including tumor size, existence of fat and calcification, enhancement degree, enhancement pattern, and enhancement heterogeneity were evaluated.
resultsThe patients were ten women and one man. The size of tumor ranged from 1.8 to 10.3 cm. All of them had distinct edges; one had a lobulated appearance, ten had bulging contour of the involved kidney, and four lesions had intratumoral fat. Eight of the E-AMLs demonstrated hyper-attenuation, two as iso-attenuation, and one as hypo-attenuation compared with renal parenchyma on unenhanced CT images. Contrast-enhanced CT features were markedly heterogeneous in eight cases (73 %). The predominant enhancement pattern was rapid wash-in to slow wash-out (91 %).
conclusionsThe radiological appearance of most E-AMLs has a tendency to be hyper-attenuated on precontrast CT with or without fat component and demonstrates a rapid wash-in to slow wash-out dynamic enhancement pattern.
