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

Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal tumor, accounting for approximately 7% of all childhood cancers. Imaging plays an important role in the detection, staging, post-therapy evaluation and surveillance of Wilms tumor. Wilms tumor can be detected during surveillance of a known cancer predisposition or after a child presents with symptoms. In this manuscript we describe an evidence-based approach to the initial evaluation of Wilms tumor using current guidelines from the Children's Oncology Group (COG). We illustrate the COG staging system for pediatric renal tumors and highlight key imaging findings that are critical for surgical management. We also discuss the controversies regarding detection and significance of <5-mm pulmonary nodules at initial staging. And finally, we present some thoughts regarding surveillance of Wilms tumor, where overall survival has now approached 90%.
