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

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign, histologically complex mesenchymal tumor arising mainly from the kidney and liver. The majority (80%) of these tumors arise as sporadic tumors, while 20% of them are associated with tuberous sclerosis. Extra-renal sites of AML, though rare, have been reported in literature. In this report, we describe a case of AML arising from the scrotal skin, and presenting as a scrotal mass. Although skin is the most commonly reported site after kidney and liver, scrotal skin AML presents as an intriguing mass in a region known for germ cell tumors which has been reported only once before. A 35-year-old male presented with scrotal swelling. His physical examination, laboratory investigations and imaging studies were non-specific. Excision of the lesion with subsequent histopathological examination revealed the true nature of the lesion. This lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses.
