Diagnostic value and clinical significance of ultrasound combined with CT in cystic renal cell carcinoma.

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.
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
This study investigated the value and clinical significance of ultrasound combined with CT in the diagnosis of cystic renal cell carcinoma. A total of 85 patients with cystic renal cell carcinoma, who were admitted to the Oncology Department of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from December 2015 to April 2017, were selected as the study group, and 70 patients with benign renal cyst, who were examined in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University, were selected as the benign group. The patients in the two groups were examined by ultrasound and CT. The diagnostic value of ultrasound, CT, and ultrasound combined with CT in cystic renal cell carcinoma was analyzed. The sensitivity of ultrasound combined with CT was significantly higher than that of CT and ultrasound (P<0.05). The specificity and diagnostic coincidence rate of ultrasound combined with CT were significantly higher than those of CT (P<0.05). For unicapsular kidney cancer, there was no significant difference among ultrasound, CT and ultrasound combined with CT in the diagnosis of septum and wall nodule (P>0.05). For polycystic kidney cancer, there was no significant difference among ultrasound, CT and ultrasound combined with CT in the diagnosis of the presence or absence of septum (P>0.05). Ultrasound was significantly better than CT in cyst wall confounding (P<0.05). Ultrasound combined with CT was significantly better than ultrasound in calcification and blood supply of tumors (P<0.05). In conclusion, the accuracy of ultrasound combined with CT is higher than that of ultrasound or that of CT in the diagnosis of cystic renal cell carcinoma, which can be beneficial in accurately carrying out clinical diagnosis, reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis caused by a single diagnosis and treatment. Ultrasound combined with CT is good for clinical screening and can guide clinical symptomatic treatment, which is worthy of generalizing in clinic.
