To Be or "Node" to Be: Nodal Disease and the Role of Lymphadenectomy in the Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Medical research archives, 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
Lymph node involvement in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) correlates with poor oncologic outcomes. However, current RCC staging guidelines may not fully reflect the survival impact of lymph node positive disease. Recent data demonstrates that nodal disease has significant impact on survival and modifications to current staging guidelines have been proposed. Lymph node dissection (LND) at the time of surgical intervention for RCC remains controversial. While clinical trial data have demonstrated conflicting evidence for LND, some institutional studies suggests that carefully selected patients at high-risk for recurrence may benefit from LND. Prospectively, clinical trials are examining treating nodal disease and disease at high-risk of recurrence in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting at the time of nephrectomy. These promising trials are poised, if successful, to influence the treatment paradigm for localized RCC.
