Imaging and Management of Incidental Renal Lesions.
Review in BioMed research international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The increased use of imaging modalities in the last years has led to a greater incidence in depicting abdominal incidental lesions. In particular, "incidentalomas" of the kidney are discovered in asymptomatic patients or patients who suffer from diseases not directly related to the kidneys. The aim of this paper is to provide the radiologist with a useful guide to recognize and classify the main incidental renal findings with the purpose of establishing the correct management. First we describe the so-called "pseudotumors" which are important to recognize in order to avoid a misdiagnosis. Afterwards we categorize true renal lesions into cystic and solid types, reporting radiological signs helpful in differentiating between benign and malignant nature.
