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

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is rare in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and usually demonstrates a low nuclear grade and a better prognosis compared with other RCCs. The authors present a case report of MTSCC containing an area of Fuhrman nuclear grade 3, in addition to an area with a micropapillary pattern. An 82-year-old man consulted a hospital due to macrohematuria, and a tumor in the right kidney was detected. The tumor was resected and histologically examined. The tumor consisted of various growth patterns: Elongated tubular structure, a papillary structure containing a micropapillary pattern and solid pattern with spindle cells. The tumor cells demonstrated Fuhrman nuclear grades 2 and 3. Invasion into the lymph vessel and metastasis into the regional lymph node were observed. Thus, the tumor was diagnosed as a high grade MTSCC. Five months following resection, a computed tomography scan suggested metastasis of the tumor into the para-aortic lymph nodes and liver, and the patient succumbed to brain metastasis. When MTSCC of kidney is observed, careful histological observation is important to avoid missing a high nuclear grade area.
