Imaging Protocols for Active Surveillance in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Review in Current urology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 reviewTo review the growth kinetics of small renal masses and available imaging modalities for mass characterization and surveillance, highlight current organizational recommendations for the active surveillance of small renal masses, and discuss the most recently reported oncological outcomes of patients as they relate to various surveillance imaging protocols and progression to delayed intervention. RECENT
findingsOverall, organizational guideline recommendations are broad and lack specifics regarding timing and modality for follow-up imaging of small renal masses. Additionally, despite general consensus in the literature about certain criteria to trigger delayed intervention, there exist no formal guidelines. Active surveillance of small renal masses is an acceptable management strategy for patients with prohibitive surgical risk; however, standardized imaging protocols for surveillance are lacking, as are randomized, prospective trials to evaluate the ideal follow-up protocol.
