Huge renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma - A case report of a giant, benign renal mass.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionRenal angiomyolipoma (also called renal hamartoma) is a benign Tumor, composed of adipose tissue, smooth muscle tissue, and blood vessels. Tumors more than 10 cm (referred to as "giant" AMLs) are infrequent and a very small number of reported cases were measured more than 20 cm. Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML), is a rare variant of angiomyolipoma with malignant potential. There are less than 10 cases of huge EAML reported in English literature, that were all associated with recurrence and complications. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a rare case of renal EAML in a 48-year-old male patient that was not associated with tuberous sclerosis. He was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of severe abdominal pain. Computer Tomography Scan (CT-scan), revealed two masses attached to the left kidney with a size of 32 × 22 × 8 cm and 20 × 10 × 3 cm. The patient underwent a radical left nephrectomy. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an EAML. The two-year follow-up CT-scan showed no recurrence.
conclusionMalignant EAML, although rare, does exist. Thus, besides evaluations required for ruling out the diagnosis of renal sarcomas, surgeons must follow patients after total nephrectomy for possible recurrence. Benign cases can be completely cured by surgery and do not show recurrence at the end of the follow-up period.
