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

Cystic renal lesions are one of the commonly encountered urological conditions. They can be either benign or malignant. The Bosniak classification is employed to differentiate benign cysts from the malignant ones and to recommend treatment options. Bosniak type 4 cysts are mostly malignant. Rarely, benign tumors can be encountered in Bosniak type 4 cysts. We present a 59-year-old female who presented with a hilar Bosniak type 4 cyst in the right kidney. She underwent open exploration of the right renal tumor. The tumor was infiltrating into the renal vessels and could not be separated from the renal vein. In view of preoperative and intraoperative suspicion of malignancy, radical nephrectomy was done. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed the tumor to be an oncocytoma. The benign nature of the cyst could not be conclusively determined by preoperative investigations and intraoperative findings. Postoperative histological examination uncovered the rare cystic presentation of this benign tumor.
