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

An extremely rare renal hybrid tumor composed of papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) and renal oncocytoma (RO) within the same tumor is described. Only eight previous cases are documented in the literature. A 44-year-old man showed a 3.5 cm renal mass composed by areas with tubulo-papillary structures made up with small cells with scanty cytoplasm adjacent to polygonal cells forming solid sheet and tubules with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and uniform, round central nuclei without mitoses. Complete immunohistochemical panel suggested a diagnosis of type 1 PRCC combined with RO. Contrary to previous cases of hybrid renal tumors reported in the literature, no pseudocapsule divided the two histotypes of tumors. Our patient is the youngest among the previous reports being 44. Collision tumours have previously been described, although mixed renal tumours composed of oncocytoma and PRCC is extremely rare. There is no evidence to suggest a relationship between oncocytoma and papillary RCC since they originate from different cells and have different prognoses. Given the possibility of oncocytomas to harbour other tumours, we suggest careful examination of the samples to exclude the presence of an associated malignant neoplasm, which might have a significantly worse prognosis than oncocytoma. Differential diagnosis is needed, and immunohistochemical stains are of great help in distinguishing between the two histological components.
