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

purpose of reviewRenal embolization (RE) is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure performed primarily by interventional radiology that can be used to treat a variety of urologic conditions including malignant renal tumors, angiomyolipomas, renal trauma, and complications following biopsy. The following review examines renal embolization indications, technique, and potential complications. RECENT

findingsRenal embolization is a versatile therapeutic and adjunctive tool for many acute and chronic urologic conditions. RE has become a first-line therapy for renal trauma in lower grade injuries and increasing in prevalence for higher grade injuries. Additionally, the safety and efficacy of chemoembolization for primary treatment of renal cell carcinoma is under evaluation. A multidisciplinary approach between urology and interventional radiology should be pursued for all patients undergoing renal embolization regardless of indication. Preprocedural planning and careful monitoring of complications should be performed to optimize clinical outcomes.
