Synchronous retroperitoneal Castleman's disease with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Castleman's disease is a rare non-clonal lymphoproliferative disorder and known to be associated with a number of disorders such as polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes syndrome, Kaposi sarcoma, paraneoplastic pemphigus and plasma cell dyscrasias. The association of Castleman's disease with epithelial malignancy is not clear and limited to few case reports. We describe a case of synchronous Castleman's disease with renal cell carcinoma in a 53-year-old woman. She presented with right abdominal lump with feeling of heaviness. She also presented with vague discomfort in left hypochondrium for 15 years. The CT imaging of abdomen revealed two masses-one in right kidney and another in left anterior pararenal space of retroperitoneum. The patient underwent right radical nephrectomy with excision of left retroperitoneal mass. Histological examination revealed clear cell renal cell carcinoma and Castleman's disease, respectively. Role of interleukin-6 has been postulated as an important factor in association of Castleman's disease and epithelial malignancy.
