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

rationaleMucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a variant of renal cell carcinoma newly added to the WHO classification in 2004. It is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma and sometimes it is not easy to distinguish MTSCC from papillary renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe renal cell cancer, etc. The prognosis of MTSCC is favorable after surgical resection. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 45-year-old male patient presented with a right renal mass that was detected on ultrasonography incidentally. The computed tomography scan showed a huge homogenous mass with patchy calcification in the central area, and the lesion was slightly enhanced after contrast injection. DIAGNOSES: According to postoperative pathology, the patient was diagnosed with MTSCC.

interventionsThe patient underwent an open transabdominal radical resection of right kidney and right retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. OUTCOMES: The surgical outcomes were good, and no recurrence or metastasis was observed during the follow-up. LESSONS: MTSCC is a rare malignancy of the kidney and the prognosis is usually favorable. Preoperative enhanced CT and MRI can help differentiate MTSCC from other renal tumors, so as to provide a more suitable surgical approach for those who need to retain renal function as much as possible.
