A MEST up classification? Review of the re-classification of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor and adult cystic nephroma for the abdominal radiologist.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) and the tumor formerly known as adult cystic nephroma (ACN) are uncommon renal tumors that have historically been described as separate entities in terms of histologic and imaging findings. However, these entities share many epidemiologic, radiologic, and pathologic features. While recent surgical and pathological literature has supported classifying MEST and ACN within the same tumor family, most radiologists and radiology texts continue to describe MEST and ACN as separate entities.
