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

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome is believed to result from an autosomal dominant mutation in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene on chromosome 1. It is characterized by leiomyomas, mainly uterine or cutaneous, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The most common type of RCC associated with HLRCC is type II papillary RCC although other types are seen. Of note, chromophobe RCC has not been described in previously documented cases of HLRCC. HLRCC is typically associated with germline mutations with occasional somatic mutations reported, however, to the best of our knowledge, none have yielded the full phenotype until now. Herein, we report a case of a 45-year-old woman who underwent a hysterectomy following a year of heavy vaginal bleeding, yielding a diagnosis of uterine leiomyomas. Eight months later, the patient presented with hematuria and was subsequently found to have a left renal mass. Following a left radical nephrectomy, histologic exam revealed a chromophobe RCC with FH deficiency.
