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

Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (eAML) is considered a malignant variant of angiomyolipoma (AML). From 2001 to 2016, a total of 570 patients were diagnosed with renal AML in Linko Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, including 23 cases of renal eAML. All 23 eAML cases were made up of at least 10% of epithelioid cells histologically. Three of these cases were found with multiple tumors. Two cases developed distant metastasis: one had mediastinal lymph nodes and bilateral lung metastasis; the other one had tumor recurrence over liver and retroperitoneum 1 year after radical nephrectomy. They were then divided into invasive (n = 5) and noninvasive (n = 18) groups according to their clinical behavior. The invasive group showed more severe nuclear atypia and higher rates in tumor necrosis. There was statistically no significance in relation to a patient's age, tumor size, and mitotic count between two groups. After conducting a series of studies, we suggest treating eAML with the guideline of renal cell carcinoma.
