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

We experienced a rare case of gallbladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. A 68-year-old man was admitted for further evaluation of a gallbladder tumor, which had been identified on follow-up computed tomography after partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an enhancing polypoid mass in the gallbladder lumen. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a homogenous hypo-echoic polypoid lesion, and the outer hyper-echoic layer of the adjacent wall was intact. Blood flow signals in the wall side of the mass were observed on color Doppler endoscopic ultrasonography images. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed and he was uneventfully discharged. Macroscopic examination of the specimen revealed a 12 × 7 × 5 mm pedunculated tumor attached by a thin pedicle to the fundus of the gallbladder. Histology confirmed a metastasis of the renal cell carcinoma that had infiltrated the shallow subserosa but had mainly grown into cavity of the gallbladder. These imaging findings are considered characteristic and may assist preoperative diagnosis in patients with a history of renal cell carcinoma.
