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

objectivesExtraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is a rarity, with a renal primary in an adult, being even rarer. There is no consensus on the optimal imaging modality, as well as best therapeutic option, making them an enigma for clinicians. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 34-year-old lady, a known case of invasive lobular carcinoma of the left breast (ER,PR positive, Her2neu negative), having completed treatment in 2017, wherein, on an ultrasound evaluation for left flank pain, was incidentally found to have a left renal mass. A CT scan corroborated with the ultrasound, with an additional Level 1, left renal vein thrombus. She underwent an open left radical nephrectomy with renal vein thrombectomy. Histopathology of the resected tumor revealed features of Ewing's sarcoma of the kidney, confirmed by Fluorescent In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC).

conclusionPrimary renal Ewing's sarcoma in an adult is a rare occurrence, with no characteristic imaging features, and no universally accepted guideline based management protocols. Akin with standard Ewings sarcoma treatment strategies, a margin negative- radical nephrectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy, seems the most apt treatment strategy.
