Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

In parallel to the increased utilization of cross-sectional imaging, the incidence of small renal masses has steadily risen in recent years. At the present time, anatomical imaging techniques are limited in their ability to differentiate benign from malignant renal masses. Moreover, renal mass biopsy has a high non-diagnostic rate, poor negative-predictive ability, and carries potential risks as well as substantial costs. As a result, benign renal masses are often unnecessarily resected for the false presumption of cancer.
