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

Renal carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare. These neuroendocrine masses are most frequently found in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. A renal carcinoid tumor has only been documented in around 100 cases. In this article, we report two additional cases in female patients ages 53 and 63. Both tumors were found incidentally on computed tomography scans. Both women underwent radical nephrectomies. Neither has shown evidence of metastasis nor relapse to date; however, the 63-year-old woman was lost to follow-up. In conclusion, upon discovery of the asymptomatic renal mass, renal carcinoid should be a consideration in the differentiation, and if suspected, may be treated with radical nephrectomy as was done in our hospital.
