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

introductionRenal angiomyolipomas (AML) are often regarded as benign tumors. This article reports the case of a 47 year old patient with AML associated with a venous invasion of the inferior vena cava. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Our 47 year old male patient presented for flank pain and hematuria. CT Scan revealed a 3 cm lobulated low-density lesion in the renal sinus, middle and upper lobes of the right kidney, with evidence of IVC thrombus on angioscan. Right radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy were successfully done with use of cardiopulmonary bypass. On pathology, AML was confirmed. DISCUSSION: Renal AML are unilateral and sporadic in most cases, with a female predominance. The occurrence of venous invasion in patients with AML is a rare and unique phenomenon. CT scan is the imaging of choice in such cases and surgery remains the optimal treatment.

conclusionMore focus should be put on the ability of AML to invade venous structures. Early imaging and therapeutic planning are necessary for the best outcome in case of vena cava invasion. Collaboration of the urologist with the vascular surgeon can lead to better surgical results.
