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

objectivesTo evaluate the status of peritumoral pseudocapsules in renal tumors and the effects of clinicopathological factors on their formation.

methodsFrom January 2011 to December 2012, 258 patients with solitary clinical stage T1a renal tumors who underwent partial nephrectomy were analyzed. Status of pseudocapsule was re-evaluated by a pathologist.

resultsThe mean long diameter (± SD) of the tumor and the width of the safety margin were 2.17 (± 0.94) cm and 3.2 (± 2.4) mm, respectively. A complete pseudocapsule was identified in 152 (58.9%) tumors, an incomplete pseudocapsule was identified in 69 (26.7%) tumors, and no pseudocapsule was identified in 37 (14.3%) tumors. Out of 152 tumors with complete pseudocapsules, 45 (29.6%) were confirmed to directly invade the renal parenchyma. In a multivariable analysis, age (odds ratio [OR], 1.045; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.021-1.070, P < 0.001) and histologic subtype (chromophobe type: OR, 19.455; 95% CI, 4.233-89.471, P < 0.001; oncocytoma: OR, 11.307; 95% CI, 1.357-94.198, P = 0.025) were significant factors for an incomplete or absent pseudocapsule.

conclusionsPeritumoral pseudocapsules are absent or incomplete in a significant portion of renal tumors. Old age as well as chromophobe and oncocytoma histologic subtypes were significant risk factors for an incomplete or absent peritumoral pseudocapsule.
