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 nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms' tumor, is the most common malignant renal tumor to affect children. Although rare in adults, nephroblastoma in adults is often found in its advanced stages and has a poorer prognosis than cases occurring in childhood. No report has described the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in small diameter renal tumors in elderly patients. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a very rare case of 71-year-old woman with asymptomatic small nephroblastoma removed by laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.

conclusionThe patient refused additional treatments but shows no sign of recurrence 15 months after surgery. These findings support, therefore, that laparoscopic surgery may be effective for small nephroblastoma in elderly patients refusing other treatment modalities.
