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

introductionPrimary small cell carcinoma (SCC) after renal transplantation is very rare. Here, we reported 1 case of primary SCC after renal transplantation and analyzed its clinical and pathological characteristics. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old female underwent renal transplantation in our hospital 2 years ago and had been using tacrolimus for immunosuppressive therapy. Because of abdominal distention, the patient was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) showed a malignant tumor of left kidney. Patient underwent surgical treatment and radical nephrectomy and lymph node dissection were selected. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was primary renal parenchyma and ureteral SCC. The patient has been treated with combination chemotherapy of lowpol (100 mg per day) and etoposide (10 mg per day). His vital signs are stable now, and he is receiving further treatment in our hospital.

conclusionBecause of immunosuppressive drugs use, the incidence of malignancies has increased significantly after renal transplantation. This case highlights the difficulty of diagnosis of primary SCC and the necessity of checking for neuroendocrine tumor after organ transplantation.
