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

objectiveTo explore the feasibility of CT and MRI in differentiating mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC).

methods23 patients with MTSCC and 38 patients with PRCC were studied retrospectively. CT and MRI were undertaken to investigate differences in tumour characteristics.

results23 patients with MTSCC and 38 patients with PRCC (included 15 cases Type 1,and 23 cases Type 2), tumours (mean diameter 3.7 ± 1.6 cm

conclusionCT imaging features of MTSCC include isodense or hypodense mass on unenhanced CT, with unclear boundaries; however, PRCC showed mild hyperdensity, easily have cystic components. The degree enhancement of MTSCC is lower than that for PRCC. On MR, MTSCC was slightly hyperintense on T2WI, whereas PRCC was hypointense. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: 1.CT imaging features of MTSCC include isodense or hypodense mass on unenhanced CT, with unclear boundaries.2. CT imaging features of PRCC include mild hyperdensity on unenhanced CT, easily have cystic components.3. On enhanced CT, the degree enhancement of MTSCC is lower than that for PRCC. On MR, MTSCC was slightly hyperintense on T2WI whereas PRCC was heterogeneously hypointense on T2WI.
