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

BACKGROUND The Bosniak system for radiological classification of renal cysts offers a tool for surgical decision-making in clinical practice. Although 95% of Bosniak 2F cysts remain benign, a consensus on the management of Bosniak 2F cysts in kidney donation has not been developed. CASE REPORT We present a donor with a Bosniak 2F cyst, who successfully donated her kidney after partial resection of the Bosniak 2F cyst. Postoperative pathology examination of the partially resected cystic wall revealed a multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. Postoperative pathology examination revealed a multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. Resection of the Bosniak 2F cyst provides 2 advantages: the recipient receives a new donor kidney and will be free of dialysis, and the donor will be free of surveillance. CONCLUSIONS We present a practical guideline for kidney donors with Bosniak 2F cysts, balancing the risk of tumor transmission or recurrence with the benefit associated with organ transplantation, without compromising the risk of the donor and recipient. Further evaluation of this algorithm by longer follow-up and more studies is needed to prove its safety.
